It’s that time of year where we find ourselves shamelessly overindulging in a symposium of heavy foods and libations. After the mixture of wine, cocktails and overall richness, where do you go to settle your stomach?
Waterpocket Distillery will satisfy even the most discerning palate with their unique selection of digestifs that will both satisfy your holiday palate and ease your struggling stomach.
Di-ges-tif; An alcoholic beverage served after a meal, to aid digestion.
Julia and Alan Scott of Waterpocket Distillery have set their mark in Utah with a very bold style of house spirits. The couple has brought a taste of what they’ve learned through their travels and experiences to the distillery scene with a variety of unique spirits including; Toadstool Notom Amaro and Long Lost Oread.
These now Utah locals — by way of the Midwest — are tracing back to the pre-prohibition days when herbal spirits, bitters and liqueurs were part of the major trends in alcohol. Lucky for us, these styles of drink carry health benefits that can aid in digestion and work beautifully in cocktails, neat, or as a warming nightcap. Due to their complex flavors, nothing necessarily needs to be mixed in but adding a little ginger beer or tonic will lighten your dose.
