The next in the Express News Group’s Sips of Summer series is “Craft Spirits with Master Distillers” and will be held on Thursday, August 15, starting at 4:30 p.m. at Sagaponack Farm Distillery. It will feature tastings from various distilleries and highlight some of Long Island’s flavorful spirits, including vodka, bourbon and more.

Sagaponack Farm Distillery is hosting the event for the second year. The distillery opened in 2019 and works closely with the Foster Farm, a family farm that was founded in the 1800s and continues to grow grains and corn for the distillery, as well as flowers and vegetables.

“All of the raw materials that go into our spirits are grown on the Foster Farm, so the potatoes, the wheat, the corn, the barley, everything is grown over here about a mile from the ocean,” said Suzannah Wainhouse, the event coordinator for Sagaponack Farm Distillery.

Sagaponack Farm Distillery will provide a drink called the Farmer’s Daughter, featuring its cucumber vodka, as

well as a list of seasonal cocktails available for purchase at the bar.

Along with Sagaponack, Twisted Cow Distillery of East Northport and Matchbook Distilling Co. of Greenport will have specialty cocktails and other products from their distilleries for guests to enjoy.

Light bites from Page Restaurant Sag Harbor are included in the ticket price. Live music will be by Brad Penual of Friday Night Traditional.
