Spirit of the Season: A Very Merry Night with Maker's Mark

Gather ‘round for holiday cheer, with cocktails flowing and friends so near,

Rob Samuels leads the way through three fine tastings on display,

Honey tasting, sweet and bright, custom screen printing to your delight,

Dip ornaments in wax, the red so gleaming, holiday spirit’s truly beaming,

(Custom art to take, how stark!)

Passed appetizers all around, flavor notes that do astound,

Perfect pairings, what a sight, on this merry, festive night!

Food and drinks with warmth abound, so let the spirit spread around,

Join the fun, enjoy the chatter, guests will never want to scatter,

(Cheers and thanks to Maker’s Mark!)

Fa la la, la la la, la la la, ’tis the Spirit of the Season bright!
