A Winter Wonderland at Blue Hills: Sage Roots Cocktail Company Partners with Garden & Gun for an Unforgettable Event
This past winter, we had the incredible opportunity to be part of the Garden & Gun Winter Show at Round Top, Texas. It was a four-day event that brought together an eclectic group of vendors, local talent, and cocktail aficionados, all celebrating the best of Southern style, craftsmanship, and hospitality. We were thrilled to partner with Garden & Gun, where we crafted a special cocktail menu showcasing fresh and seasonal ingredients that perfectly complemented the charm and elegance of this rustic outdoor event.
A Drink for Every Season
The planning process for this event was a true labor of love. Garden & Gun wanted to feature a cocktail menu that reflected the beauty of the season while staying true to our farm-to-glass philosophy. We took great care to design drinks that showcased the best of what’s available in Texas—using locally sourced produce, herbs, and premium spirits to create cocktails that were both innovative and classic.
From the first sip to the last, the drinks we served were designed to evoke the warmth of the winter season. We used ingredients like fresh citrus, pomegranate, and aromatic herbs like rosemary and thyme, which not only made the cocktails vibrant in flavor but also eye-catching. The standout drink for the weekend was our signature cocktail, a refreshing twist on a classic winter spritz, infused with seasonal fruit and a hint of spice.
A Showcase of Southern Flair
One of the most exciting parts of the event was the mix of vendors from South Carolina and Texas who brought their unique crafts, products, and merchandise to showcase alongside us. Guests had the chance to explore and shop while sipping on our handcrafted cocktails, making for a truly immersive experience. From artisanal goods to beautiful textiles, it was clear that Garden & Gun’s Winter Show was all about celebrating the finer things in life.
As the event unfolded, we had the pleasure of working alongside incredible vendors who shared their own stories and passions. It was a perfect collaboration of like-minded people who appreciate quality craftsmanship, fresh ingredients, and authentic experiences. We were honored to be part of it all and to contribute to the memorable atmosphere with our cocktails.
The Vibe: A Cozy Winter Escape
Over the four days, the vibe at Round Top was nothing short of magical. The venue itself—set against the picturesque backdrop of the Texas countryside—set the stage for an elegant yet relaxed atmosphere. Guests enjoyed the warm, cozy environment, as they mingled with friends, perused the stunning merchandise, and sipped on drinks that had been crafted just for them. Our cocktails paired beautifully with the energy of the event, helping guests unwind and indulge in the moment.
It was clear that everyone involved shared a deep love for good food, good company, and, of course, great drinks. Our mixologists were in full swing, serving up expertly crafted cocktails and providing guests with the chance to taste the essence of the season. There was something so special about seeing guests take their first sip of a cocktail and watch their faces light up with delight.
Looking Back and Moving Forward
The success of our collaboration with Garden & Gun at Round Top was a true testament to the power of fresh, seasonal ingredients, and a well-curated experience. We loved every minute of planning and executing this event, and the positive feedback we received from guests only made it more rewarding. It’s experiences like these that remind us why we do what we do: to create unique and memorable moments for our clients and guests.
As we reflect on this incredible experience, we’re excited to continue pushing the boundaries of what we can offer at events like these. We look forward to future collaborations, creating more signature cocktails, and providing exceptional service to all who walk through our doors.
