New Cocktails and a Word about Ports

Evenfall is known for a handful of things we take great pride in. Impeccable quality of product, originality and uniqueness, and the desire to bring you, our neighbors and customers, a fresh and new interpretation of going out to dinner. While I get a kick out of seeing things that we started here popping up everywhere (The Asian Pear Martini, and Lobster Mac and Cheese) I particularly like the fact that we make so very much of what we sell from scratch, that not very much of it can be duplicated... in that spirit I am happy to report that Evenfall is poised to unveil a new group of knockout martinis.

Some ingredients:
- House Infused Pineapple and Thyme Vodka
- House Made Dragonswell Green Tea Simple Syrup
- St. Germain Elderflower
- Fresh Carrot Juice
- Rhum Clement Creole
- Passion fruit juice
- House Infused Bartlett Pear Vodka

Be sure to check out the menu as we roll it out this weekend...

Port Wine

A friend of mine Mike Keon, the original owner of Keon's in downtown Haverhill came into Evenfall when we first opened and drank me out of my stock of port (and a few other things)... I was shocked at the sale of so much so quickly, the next week I stocked up, and waited to sell some more. As the years have passed I have witnessed an increasing interest and curiosity in this wonderful liquid.

For those of you un-indoctrinated in all thing port here is a quick rundown:

Port has been around for centuries, and it is enjoying a resurgence in popularity. an especially wonderful accompaniment to the dessert or cheese course. Port is intensely aromatic and flavorful.
