The Experience, Emeryville: Honor Kitchen & Cocktails Invitation

The Experience:

Spirits inspired by the California Gray Whale!

Honor is excited to welcome Gray Whale Gin & Vodka to their menu and invite you to come by Friday, August 21 during Happy Hour, 3-6pm, to try their new Gray Whale martinis. Your first drink is complimentary, courtesy of Gray Whale, while supplies last!

A Gray Whale representative will be present to share more about the brand and its mission to protect and restore our oceans.  Their spirits are inspired by the California gray whale’s migration path along the Pacific Coast

Every year the California Gray Whale makes a 12,000 journey from the warm lagoons of Baja California to the cool waters of the arctic. Gray Whale’s refreshing coastal gin is perfected with six botanicals sourced along the whales’ journey. Gray Whale Vodka is small batch distilled with California grapes and created with no additives or sugar, leaving it silky-smooth.

Stop by, grab a martini, and enjoy a taste of the California coast! (510) 653-8667

HONOR (on-er) n. Honesty, fairness, or integrity on one’s beliefs and actions.  A source of credit or distinction. High respect, as for worth, merit, or rank.  High public esteem, fame; glory; the privilege of being associated.
