| Description |
Next Thursday, August 13, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden's inaugural meeting of the Linnaean Libation League convenes — which is a fancy way of saying BBG and Brooklyn Based are inviting all to a fabulous summer garden party.
In honor of Carl Linnaeus, father of botanical taxonomy, the League celebrates all the things Linnaeus was known for — beauty, botany, culture, brilliance — over twilight drinks in the Mediterranean-style Osborne Garden. A special cucumber-mint cocktail courtesy of the French aperitif Lillet will be free the entire night and there will be $3 drafts of Sixpoint Craft Ale, the evening’s other sponsor. (The bar will be stocked with $5 glasses of bubbly, rose, white and red wine, too.)
Tickets for the night of cocktails and live music are $15, available at bbg.org/lll, to everyone 21 and up. (The opportunity to dress up in your favorite summer whites and seersuckers? Priceless.)
Guests are encouraged to find special Linnaean Libation League calling cards scattered around Brooklyn at places like Champion Coffee, home/made, Roebling Tea Room, Dumbo General Store, and Ortine. Those who bring theirs, signed, will be entered into a drawing for a year’s free admission to Brooklyn Botanic Garden.
