The GOODS from Kale & Nori

Vancouver, BC | Back in January, Kale & Nori’s Chef Jonathan Chovancek and Lauren Mote traveled to the agricultural belt of Mexico to develop cuisine and cocktails using the “Aguardientes” and “Licors” of the Onilikan Distillery. These European-style spirits will take centre-stage for two special cocktail events at Legacy Liquor Store’s beautiful long table: May 8 with bartender Marc Smolinski (Max’s Burger’s, A Drinker’s Peace) and May 27 with Lauren Mote (Kale & Nori, Bittered Sling). Enjoy these unique opportunity to taste the spirits, cocktails and cuisine created with Onilikan’s spirited line up. Tickets for May 8 here and May 27 there. Details and menu after the jump…
