Make a Splash

This week at PRFM…

Demo with Kevin Ryan
of Local Three
10:00 a.m. on 6/1
Chef Demos are sponsored by
COUNTRY Financial
By now, you must know how we feel about Local Three. If you’ll pardon the pun, that goes double for the bar program there. Mixologist Kevin Ryan is so good that folks trust him to come up with a drink based on what they like or how they’re feeling. But that’s not to say that the carefully crafted beverage menu isn’t also worth considering—it features more than 40 bourbons, 100 beers, and 100 wines, plus a cocktail list that frequently changes based on the season’s freshest ingredients. Don’t be shy—drop by the demo tent this Saturday to gather a few drink tips from Local Three’s “Beverage Dude,” aka "Medicine Man." We’re pretty sure he’s got a refreshing cure for whatever ails you.

Spring Refresh

This week at PRFM…

TOMATOES! Just sayin’…

Chef Demo with Lara Creasy

of JCT., No. 246, & The Optimist

10:00 a.m. on 6/9

Chef Demos are sponsored by
Whole Foods Market

If you’ve enjoyed a delicious beverage at JCT. Kitchen & Bar, No. 246, or Westside’s newest hotspot The Optimist and its Oyster Bar, you’ve got master mixologist Lara Creasy to thank. We told you about her many accolades last year, but such a genius as Lara is constantly receiving more honors for her work crafting some of the freshest cocktails in the southeast. She currently serves as secretary for the Atlanta chapter of the U.S. Bartenders’ Guild and just completed her Certified Specialist of Wine course, receiving the highest exam score in her class. She’s drawn coastal inspiration for the bar program at Chef Ford Fry’s most recent debut, seafood restaurant The Optimist, including a clever martini of pink gin, blanc vermouth, and a garnish of smoked salmon. At The Oyster Bar, Lara features a daily punch with seasonal fruit served by the pitcher and “oyster backs” made to pair with daily raw bar specials. Her wine and beer list also feature coastal regions and port cities, meaning that a staycation is just a hop, skip, and a sip across midtown. You’ll want to swing by the demo tent this Saturday for a taste of the good life.

Mixology 101: Keep Cool

Demo with Tim Faulkner
of H&F Bottle Shop
10:00 a.m. on 7/30
Chef Demos are sponsored by
Whole Foods Market

Tim Faulkner is a new face at Peachtree Road Farmers Market, representing H&F Bottle Shop, the latest addition to the Restaurant Eugene family. We’ve loved the addition of his mocktails featuring ingredients from our farmers—the perfect refreshment during Market shopping! Join us for his demo this Saturday where he’ll show us exactly how to keep cool at the Market and at home—with melon cocktails, of course!

Mixmaster Lara

Refresh yourself at this week’s Demo with
Mixologist Lara Creasy of JCT. Kitchen and No. 246
10:00 am on 5/21
Chef Demos are sponsored by Whole Foods Market










Southern flavors? Check. Local ingredients? Check. These are just a couple of things that mixologist Lara Creasy has in common with the Peachtree Road Farmers Market. The other thing? Awesomeness. Ok, so that’s more of a lifestyle than a thing, but you can dig it, right? Join us at this Saturday’s demo for a refreshing cocktail of southern, local awesomeness straight from JCT. Kitchen & Bar’s famous Lara Creasy. She’s been mixing things up at JCT. since January 2009 with seasonal drinks that reflect both the old and the new South. And Decatur fans are set to raise a glass soon when she completes the cocktail program at No. 246, the highly anticipated restaurant from Chef Ford Fry (of JCT.) and Chef Drew Belline (formerly of Floataway Cafe). We can’t wait to taste her creative concoctions incorporating tastes and ingredients from the South with the traditional beverages of Italy—a marriage that gave us the classic Bellini (peach + bubbly) can only grow sweeter; and word on the street is that Creasy’s take on the the Bellini transforms it into a seasonal sip that combines local peaches, Cocci Americano, aromatic bitters, peach bitters and Prosecco. Are you ready to whet your whistle yet? Check out this weekend’s demo for tips and tricks on making your own spring and summer sippers—from creating infusions from scratch to masterful muddling, Lara will show you how to beat the heat in delicious fashion. Join us for a juicy cooler featuring mulberries and strawberries—we think you’ll agree that knowledge has never tasted so sweet!

P.S. Three Cheers for Lara! Creasy won the United States Bartender Guild cocktail competition at JCT. Bar— which qualified her to compete alongside some of the world’s greatest bartenders at last weekend’s Manhattan Cocktail Classic. Congrats from everyone at PRFM!
