Fresh Finds at The Farm Patch: Sourcing the Best Ingredients for Our Seasonal Cocktails & Mocktails

Feb 22

At Sage Roots Cocktail Company, we believe in the magic of farm-to-glass cocktails and mocktails. That's why we source most of our ingredients from The Farm Patch, a local open-air market where the freshest produce and herbs are just waiting to be transformed into something special. Visiting The Farm Patch isn’t just about buying ingredients—it’s an experience that connects us to the heart of the season, and we’re thrilled to take you along for the journey.

What to Expect at The Farm Patch

An open-air market like The Farm Patch is a sensory delight. As you walk through the aisles, you’re greeted by vibrant colors, fragrant herbs, and an array of locally grown fruits and vegetables. The energy is alive with chatter between farmers, vendors, and shoppers, all sharing a love for fresh, sustainable ingredients. Whether it’s spring berries, summer citrus, or fall squash, every trip to the market brings new possibilities for crafting the perfect seasonal drink.

Spotting the Best Ingredients for Your Cocktails & Mocktails

The beauty of an open market is the variety and abundance of fresh ingredients, many of which are just waiting to be made into your next signature drink. We’re always on the lookout for produce that has a natural balance of flavor, fragrance, and visual appeal. Here’s what we love to look for:

Citrus Fruits: Bright and zesty, they’re perfect for adding a refreshing tartness to both cocktails and mocktails. Think lemons, limes, and oranges for a crisp, citrusy bite.
Herbs: Fresh herbs like mint, basil, and thyme add complexity and aromatic flair, infusing our drinks with an earthy, fragrant touch.
Berries & Stone Fruits: Juicy strawberries, blackberries, and peaches bring sweetness and color, turning any drink into a flavorful masterpiece.
Exotic Finds: From dragon fruit to ginger, the market often surprises us with unique finds that add a fun twist to our seasonal menus.

Every ingredient we select is chosen with care, ensuring that the flavors, colors, and textures are just right for a craft cocktail or mocktail that’s both refreshing and memorable. So next time you visit The Farm Patch, remember that you’re not just picking up produce—you’re picking up the very essence of the season.
