FALL MENUS
A Fall Equinox Tasting Menu
Maple Sugar Cider Switchel (Signature Mocktail)
While we may not be pulling out Hot Toddies yet, we do start to play with Fall with this Maple infused non-alcoholic energy booster. If you love shrubs, you're in for a treat with the additional layers of organic Apple Cider Vinegar and fresh Ginger Root. Top with Mint and enjoy!
Whiskey Go Go (Signature Cocktail)
Ginger Root continues to press onward with this twist on a Manhattan (hello, Bourbon) using hand-crafted Lemon Ginger Simple Syrup and crushed Mint. Somehow it reminds you of a Mint Julep, but it's even better. Have one... or two.
Tomatillo Gazpacho (Starter)
With Tomatillo season also comes a revered Gazpacho that combines our favorite late Summer/early Fall garden vegetables - Cucumbers, Radishes - with pureed Tomatillos, fresh Garlic, Lime Juice, ground Pumpkin Seeds and Jalapenos. Enjoy... slowly.
Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Sage Brown Butter (Starter)
On the heels of a palette cleanser such as the Gazpacho comes a handmade Sweet Potato based Gnocchi with strong hints of Sage and Brown Butter. This might just be your next go-to dish for Fall (and Winter).

Chocolate Chunk Pumpkin Seed Cookies (Dessert)
You can't breathe after the previous four courses, but you also can't decline Dark Chocolate combined with roasted Pumpkin Seeds in the shape of a cookie....right? There might just also be a dollop of (Vanilla) ice cream on the side.
