  • Cocktails for a Cause: April Feature

    Apr 1, 2025 - Apr 30, 2025
    All April long at Fora, we’re shaking things up with 'Mother Earth' cockatil feature — a smoky-sweet mix of mezcal, pineapple, lemon, and a house-made basil stem cordial that uses the entire plant (because wasting good flavor? Couldn’t be us). Just in time for Earth Day, this $18 cocktail is a toast to doing better — and $2 from everyone sold goes to Waste Shed, an amazing org rescuing reusable art + school supplies for creatives and classrooms. Drink up, do good. 🥂
