What to have on hand to get ready for class:

Ingredients for The Garden Party Sip & Nibble

1 pound(ish) tomatoes 
a handful of basil leaves
a stalk of fennel (with fronds if possible)
a small bunch of fresh mint, or 4 mint tea bags
2 lemons
1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
gin or vodka (or use sparkling water or a mild ginger beer)
optional but fun: a few edible flowers like sunflower or black-eyed Susan petals, pea shoots, borage, nasturtium flowers, rose petals. Not sure what is edible? Show us in class and we’ll help you!

Equipment:

cocktail shaker with muddler and strainer
baking sheet (lined with parchment if you have it) and oven pre-heated to 375°F
