Recipe: Raise a Glass with Women-Led Spirit Companies at The Dearborn

In celebration of Women’s History Month this March, The Dearborn is spotlighting women-led and -owned spirits by featuring them on their beverage menu throughout the month. The Dearborn owners and sisters ,Amy and Clodagh Lawless, take pride in highlighting women in the industry—especially in such a male-dominated field. Not only can you visit The Dearborn for feminist-forward drinks, but you can make one at home and support women-owned and -led businesses all from your very own bar cart.

The Dearborn shared one of the recipes being featured this month, Hung Up on Lychees, which honors Dr. Sonat Birnecker Hart, owner and founder of Koval Distillery, and Anne Brock, master distiller of Bombay Gin.
