Summer arrives differently in the Garden.
It lingers beneath the shade of climbing vines, settles into warm evenings on the patio, and finds its way into every basket of herbs, flowers, berries, and vegetables harvested across Northeast Kansas. The Houses of Summer is our love letter to that fleeting season.
Rather than drawing from history, each cocktail belongs to one of four imagined houses, each representing a different expression of summer's character.
Garden celebrates growth, abundance, and the bright vitality of the harvest.
Hearth embraces warmth, smoke, shared tables, and the comfort of long evenings with good company.
Bramble wanders the edges of the cultivated world, where wild fruit, tangled hedgerows, and forgotten paths remind us that beauty often grows untamed.
Veil lingers in twilight, where flowers bloom after sunset, stars begin to appear, and summer takes on a quiet, almost dreamlike quality.
Built around produce from local farms, herbs from our own garden, and ingredients sourced from the people who help shape our community, every drink reflects the season in which it was created. Some are bright and refreshing, others rich and contemplative, but all are rooted in a single belief:
The best cocktails begin with a sense of place.
We hope these drinks invite you to slow down, gather with friends beneath the lights, and savor the brief, beautiful abundance that summer brings to the Garden.
