Tobin’s Trip to Armenia with Ararat Brandy

After using Ararat Brandy in several cocktails over the years, at the end of 2019 Bar Director Tobin Shea traveled with their team to Armenia to explore the country’s rich history, cuisine and of course, spirits. See photos from his trip below.

Inspired by the visit, Ararat Apricot Brandy made its way onto Mr. Shea’s cocktail menu shortly thereafter in the Everlasting, his take on a whiskey sour. Find the recipe here.
