No culinary experience is complete without a well-crafted cocktail, and at the Arkansas Foodbank’s 24th annual Empty Bowls event, drinks will help set the tone for “A Night in Black and White.” Crafted by the team at Cypress Social, three signature cocktails will be poured alongside an elevated dining experience from sister restaurant Petit & Keet. As the Foodbank’s primary fundraiser, this night of fine food and drink does more than fill your plate, with every last sip and savory bite helping fill a bowl for a neighbor in need.
From an artful take on a whiskey sour to an herbaceous, floral marriage of a timeless French 75 and a rich, coffee-forward nightcap, these recipes set the tone for an elegant evening where craft, cuisine and cause converge.
