Cent'Anni Cocktails Spirit Syrups' story began a little over 4 years ago in my kitchen. I was making my Jalapeno Syrup.

It was October, my favorite month where I celebrate my ancestors, Dia de Los Muertos, or in Italian, Shawdowfest, with cooking and visiting the cemetary.

I had a few peppers sitting on the side board next to the stove top. My Nonie had been gone 2 years, but this day, she came to me in the kitchen. A light wind came through the window, around my my right shoulder, and 3 of the peppers rolled into the fire! I screamed, "ROASTED JALAPENO SYRUP! ROASTED PEPPER SYRUP!!" Bear, my dog, barked, the cats went flying out the door, I was dancing in circles! Thus my first "Spirit Syrup" was born, October 13th, 2006.

I entered a Tequila cocktail Competition, where as my recipe included my Roasted Jalapeno Syrup, my drink won 1st place. Chocolate Chili Spice Syrup was next, stemming from my love for cooking and all things Mexican inspired .

Strawberry Rhubarb was born in the Spring of 2007, and the tangy Spiced Lemon.

In January,2011, I was cleaning one row of a bookshelf, a small book literally fell on my head. It was "Kitchen Magic with Mushrooms, A collection of recipes from the Mycological Society. 1968. It was my Grandfathers. I joined the society that day, thinking I would calm down of the bar business, get away from cocktails on weekends, haeve fun,like I need another hobby!

 I went to my first mushroom club meeting, and the very first thing that came to my head was "How do I get these mushrooms into my cocktails?" Well so much for leaving work behind..I foraged for Candy Cap Mushrooms with a co-member..and the rest is now in a bottle.

Candy Cap Mushroom..amazing scent of Maple, with the earthy taste of mushroom.Umami Rich.

Foraged Manhattans and my new Foraged Fall Harvest cocktail with bourbon, unfiltered apple juice..beautiful!
