The Year in Spirits & The 2026 Flavor Forecast

Two evenings of curated tasting experiences unfold in Wynwood as The Year in Spirits & The 2026 Flavor Forecast pairs a retrospective look at standout bottles with a forward-looking exploration of emerging cocktail trends. The sessions take place December 27-30 at 2417 N. Miami Ave., each offering a distinct perspective on the evolving world of spirits.

The Year in Spirits Tasting spotlights four award-winning and conversation-shaping selections from 2025, ranging from a notable bourbon and a modern world whisky to an elevated vodka and a contemporary gin built on unexpected botanicals. Guided tasting notes illuminate what set these spirits apart this year, with light gourmet hors d’oeuvres served to complement the experience.

The 2026 Flavor Forecast shifts toward the new year, presenting four mini signature cocktails inspired by rising mixology trends. Guests sample flavor profiles such as bright citrus, floral notes, roasted elements and subtle smoke, each designed to highlight how bartenders are shaping balance and aroma in the year ahead. Light bites accompany the tasting while keeping the focus on the creative flavor journey.

Each session is $64.78, with a bundled option of $116.15, including taxes and fees, for guests who wish to attend both experiences.
