  • Seraphine is a vignette of Louisiana in the American Tobacco Campus in the City of Durham. Brad Weddington and Graham Weddington, who also founded Nana Steak, opened Seraphine in September 2023. Their family’s Louisiana heritage and story can be seen decorating the walls of the dining space and informing the cuisine and cocktails. Since its opening, Seraphine has quickly won the hearts of North Carolinians, winning Best New Restaurant from Durham Magazine and one of INDY Week’s favorites for Best New Restaurant in the Triangle. We love it there - and we know you will, too. Meet Bridget Among the Seraphine team and behind the bar is Bridget (aka Green Beans). I didn’t always anticipate that mixology would become my chosen medium for exploring taste,” says Bridget. For her, bartending is an art in subtlety, a way to create drinks that both honor and reimagine tradition. Studying classic New Orleans cocktails has fueled a passion for integrating history into each creation. Meet the Day-O The Day-O is an unexpected marriage of tropical flair and autumnal richness. “I wanted the banana and almond orgeat to create a custardy, silky mouthfeel,” Bridget says. The addition of Cap & Cane Spirits Spiced Rum brings in warm notes of cardamom and cinnamon, while the Cap & Cane Spirits Coffee Rum, made with Counter Culture Coffee, introduces a smooth espresso finish, adding balance to the sweetness. “It’s a drink that feels like an autumn evening, both cozy and invigorating.” Seraphine x Liberty & Plenty Distillery “Liberty & Plenty spirits are at once distinct and well-rounded,” Bridget shares. “They lend a complexity that enhances my cocktails in a way few spirits can.” The collaboration with Liberty & Plenty’s team, has been invaluable, offering new insights that have helped bring these drinks to life. And we at Liberty & Plenty can say the same about our collaboration with the fine folks at Seraphine. Guests at Seraphine can experience the Day-O and the Rosemary’s Baby, another craft cocktail on the menu, each thoughtfully crafted with Liberty & Plenty spirits. #Seraphine #SeraphineDurham #AmericanTobaccoCampus #LibertyAndPlentyDistillery #CapAndCane #CraftCocktails #NewOrleansMixology #FallFlavors #LandPCocktail #durm #distillery #craftcocktails #rum

  • 𝗔 𝗦𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝘁 𝗕𝗮𝗿 𝗕𝗲𝗲𝗷 Bar Beej at Cheeni in downtown Durham, North Carolina is more than a bar; it’s a place where each cocktail embodies the soul of Indian cuisine and the warmth of a community drawn together through food. Created by two-time The James Beard Foundation award semifinalist Preeti Waas and her daughter Amy Waas, Bar Beej—meaning “seed” in Sanskrit—is rooted in the idea of nurturing connections and healing people through food, using the spices, herbs, and produce that define Indian flavors. 𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝗔𝗺𝘆 𝗪𝗮𝗮𝘀 Amy’s journey into bartending began by accident, yet blossomed into a passion that now weaves seamlessly into Cheeni’s kitchen. “We treat cocktails as an extension of the kitchen,” Amy shares, and every drink crafted at Bar Beej celebrates the artistry and depth of Indian cuisine. Note only are the cocktails deeply gastronomic, the names of each cocktail connect you to deep and layered stories, packed with meaning and intention.  𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 ‘𝗜 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗗𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀’ Inspired by Cheeni’s beloved mint chutney, this mojito features Liberty & Plenty Distillery’s Cap & Cane Spirits Rum, blending savory, sweet, and sour notes with spices, mint, and cilantro. It’s a refreshing yet distinct cocktail that captures the essence of Cheeni’s kitchen. 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗲𝗻𝗶 𝘅 𝗟𝗶𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘁𝘆 & 𝗣𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘆 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘆 Preeti and Amy saw Liberty & Plenty Distillery as the perfect match for Bar Beej. “Their spirits are as versatile as they are delicious,” says Amy. “Both cocktails were crafted with them in mind.” Our shared experience as woman-owned businesses and a dedication to connecting people through storytelling make Liberty & Plenty and Bar Beej natural companions. Stop by and experience the cocktails and cuisine that make Cheeni and Bar Beej part of the soul of the Durham Community. #LibertyAndPlenty #CheeniDurham #BarBeej #CraftCocktails #EkDilHai #MintChutneyMojito #NorthCarolinaCocktails #LandPCocktail City of Durham Discover Durham Durham County ABC Eater

  • Glasshouse Kitchen — RTP, Durham NC Over at Glasshouse Kitchen, part of the Wye Hill Hospitality group, the bar program has been a seamless blend of tradition and innovation. Initially developed by group Beverage Director, Zachary Rogerson, Glasshouse’s bar program continues to grow under the expertise of their Bar Manager, Gregory Dreyer. "When I came to Glasshouse, I stepped into a well-established beverage program, but I’ve been excited to build upon that foundation," says Greg. Meet Mixologist, Gregory Dreyer Greg’s journey in the industry began in Virginia, where he served beer and wine before moving to Raleigh for a fresh start. “I always had my eyes on the bar," he recalls. After much persistence, he worked his way up from server to Bar Lead at Wye Hill Kitchen & Brewing, and eventually earned the role of Bar Manager at Glasshouse. With a degree in sociology, he brings a unique perspective, focusing on crafting drinks that evoke connection and a sense of community. Meet the Spanish #Sangria The Spanish Sangria is a cocktail that ties together their passion for both wine and craft cocktails. “I always want to have a sangria on our menu,” he explains, “because it aligns so well with our strong wine program.” The inspiration for this Sangria came from the desire to evoke the flavors of fall and winter. He describes it as an immersive sensory experience: "I wanted people to immediately think of warming spices—the same ones you smell when you walk into a store during the #holidays. It’s all about that sense of comfort and nostalgia.” Liberty & Plenty Distillery’s Cap & Cane Spirits Spiced Rum helps to bring those elements to the table. Why Liberty & Plenty Distillery Rums “When I was developing the recipe, I was surrounded by the aroma of chai spices. When I discovered L&P had a Chai Spiced #Rum, it was the perfect match,” he says. This collaboration not only highlights the flavors but also reflects Glasshouse’s commitment to supporting local businesses. Stop by Glasshouse Kitchen to experience the Spanish Sangria for yourself or ask the team for one of their other seasonal creations #GlasshouseKitchen #SpanishSangria #CraftCocktails #SupportLocal #LandPCocktail #ChaiSpicedRum #FallFlavors #NCSpirits #WineAndCocktails #gamingandgimlets #gaminggimlets #RTP

  • Take A Seat. Over the next 3 months, Liberty & Plenty Distillery will invite you to take a seat at the some of North Carolina’s most loved bars and restaurants that bring our brands to life. We'll spotlight creators who have found inspired and innovative ways to tell compelling new stores with our gums, vodkas, gins and whiskies. True Blue Butcher & Barrel --- Wilmington, NC We’re thrilled to start with True Blue Butcher & Barrel in Wilmington, North Carolina, part of the We Are True Blue hospitality group. Anthony Palermo --- Mixologist At the heart of the impressive bar program at We Are True Blue is Beverage Manager, Anthony Palermo. With 20 years of experience, Anthony describes himself as “a bartender” (not a mixologist) who crafts drinks that are “clean, simple, and spirit-driven” — leaning on the rich traditions of Prohibition-era and New Orleans bar culture. Anthony spun together a new take on the classic Manhattan, featured here. Mad Hattin’ --- "Simple, but truly powerful" A unique creation that blends our Cap & Cane Spiced Rum with Lo-Fi Gentian Amaro (GALLO), Aperol (Campari Group) ans Wilmington’s own Night Owl Bitters (Barmade Project). Anthony calls it a “simple but truly powerful cocktail” with notes of “cocoa, coffee, cinnamon, pepper, licorice, and gentian root.” He’s particularly impressed with how the chai flavors in our spiced rum create a “perfect balance” that makes the cocktail come alive. Why Cap & Cane Spiced Rum For Anthony and the True Blue team, selecting Liberty & Plenty’s spirits was a natural fit. He explains, “Our collection is tightly focused on high-quality, thoughtfully developed spirits.” He adds, “We love to support our North Carolina neighbors, and love it even more when the products are thoughtfully distilled and tell a strong story,” he says. They appreciate the way our Slate Belt Vodka “showcases the geography and history of Durham County,” and how our Cap & Cane Spiced Rum’s chai notes harmonize beautifully in cocktails. When in Wilmington, say hello to Anthony and the entire True Blue Butcher & Barrel team.

    This weekend, Liberty & Plenty Distillery participated in the The North Carolina Seafood Festival, and it was an unforgettable experience. A heartfelt thank you to the organizers for including us and to the entire team for making us feel right at home. While we celebrated the immense social and economic impact of North Carolina's seafood industry, our thoughts were with our friends and neighbors in Western North Carolina and the High Country, who are still in the midst of emergency response and triage following the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene. The need there is incalculable, and we know that many are doing what they can to help support those communities. For our part, Liberty & Plenty has chosen to support The Build for Good Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization based in Blowing Rock, North Carolina. This remarkable team is led and organized by the folks behind the The Speckled Trout Restaurant and Bottle Shop and Outfitters. The organization is community-based with a permanent presence in the High Country, and is focused on finding our brothers and sisters in WNC’s most remote and hardest hit areas, and deploying light and heavy aid. Thanks to the generosity of the festival attendees, we raised $2500, which Liberty & Plenty Distillery matched, resulting in a total contribution of $5000 for The Build for Good Foundation's relief efforts. We will continue to fundraise for the foreseeable future, and divert a portion of our sales through festivals and our Durham bar operations through December. We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who donated and want to especially thank our NC Sales Team, Andrea Daniel and Evan Kuck, for their energy and dedication in mobilizing this campaign. A huge thank you once again to the The North Carolina Seafood Festival for the opportunity to participate. It was a pleasure to be with you in Morehead City and a blessing to raise funds together for Western North Carolina. *Note: We chose to share uplifting visuals for this message. Images of the devastation are widespread and can be triggering. As an organization based outside the impact zone, it feels more appropriate to focus on hope and support rather than on the catastrophe itself.*
