Science and spirits
The Science Museum Oklahoma is mixing cocktails with science when it hosts three tasting events in Spirit Labs.
The new fundraising event will feature tastings of tequila, bourbon and wine on different evening paired with hands-on science experiences. The Spirit Labs kicks off with the “Agave Experiment” Sept. 12, and guests will learn about the distillation process, explore the chemistry of agave and have some fun with the worm that is often associated with tequila. On Oct. 3, bourbon is the focus with “The Barrel Formula,” and “The Grape Reaction” on Nov. 7 features “wine and wonder,” as a news release states.
Proceeds help fund the museum’s interactive educational outreach programs. Tickets are $80 for general admission and $100 for VIP tickets for early entry and extra activities. Events are from 7 to 9 p.m. for general admission.
