Join us via Zoom for what’s sure to be a fun virtual networking event. The format is a round-robin where four ACHE of Georgia board members will share their favorite mixed drink recipes and participants can choose which drink they want to mix and follow along. Webinar information will be emailed to you once you register.

Each moderator will walk through two drink recipes, shown below. Be sure to have ingredients for drinks you want to mix on hand.
