Franklin Distillery, a brand-new spirits company rooted in Franklin, Tenn., recently launched its brand with two premium products designed to celebrate local ingredients: Southern gin and one of the world’s first citrus vodkas. The launch of the spirits will be celebrated with a handful of “Meet the Distillers” tasting events throughout the Middle Tennessee region in the coming weeks. Fellow co-founders Stainbrook and Ward will be available to tell more of their story and share favorite cocktail recipes through these events, including a pop-up at Chrysalis Modern Italian, located at 9040 Carothers Pkwy Suite A201, Franklin, TN 37067, on Tuesday, March 22 from 5-7 p.m. Chrysalis has created a special Franklin Distillery cocktail menu for the event.
