Did you get your Booster yet?
No, I’m not referring to the vaccine booster shot. This Booster is a new cocktail created by noted Chef de Swigs Anthony Laborin of Farmhouse at Roger’s Gardens restaurant. The Booster mixes passion fruit, lemon, orange clove, tincture, and salt gin, and is the third iteration of the restaurant’s popular pandemic-inspired sips. The Vaccine was introduced in spring 2020 and The Second Dose in summer 2021.
In addition to creative cocktails, Farmhouse has added new seasonal menu items courtesy of owner and Executive Chef Rich Mead.
These new entrées include Spaghetti Squash & Braised Green Enchiladas, Grilled Dijon Soy Rubbed Pork Tenderloin, Pomegranate Glazed Salmon Salad and Panko, Dijon, Herb Crusted Icelandic Cod.
New sides include Roast Spaghetti Squash & 3 Cheese Gratin and Blistered Brussels Sprouts & Cipollini Onions.
And with the weather turning chilly (sooner or later), you can enjoy Farmhouse cuisine from the comfort of Farmhouse’s heated and covered open-air dining room adorned with holiday decor including a stunning Christmas tree.
You can also give back this holiday season by ordering the Swig for Selflessness. Available Monday through Sunday, each Farmhouse “Swig” sold supports a local charity with 50 percent of all sales donated. Each week Farmhouse’s talented cocktail specialists concoct an innovative new cocktail.
