Social Creative Conversations

Conversation is the thread that helps tether and inspire relationships. It doesn’t have to be fancy or grand; but, it does need to be real. Inspiring conversation often comes from the ordinary moments in life when stories are shared and hearts are laid bare. Join Amy Vallejo, founder & co-collaborator of Social Creative Workshops, as she chats to extraordinary women sharing, teaching, and learning through the conversations we have. This podcast is for all the makers; artisan makers, business makers, movement makers, homemakers, mess makers, idea makers. What we do is a contributing portion of who we are, but there is so much to all of us, isn't there? If you are like me, the stories are gold and connect us so much deeper. WE ALL HAVE SOMETHING TO TEACH, WE ALL HAVE SOMETHING TO LEARN. Welcome to our conversation, we’re glad you’re here!

Orasella's Anne SanGiovanni Restores the Maraschino

April 15, 2022 • Amy Vallejo/ Anne SanGiovanni • Season 2 • Episode 23

I never knew I had so many questions about cherries. Not just any cherries. Plump local cherries, hand-plucked from a local orchard and bathed in a proper, traditional Italian recipe of maraschino (maraskeeno) liqueur. Sought after cherries for any craft cocktail enthusiast.
I am, of course, speaking of Orasella Maraschino Cherries -a beloved favorite for most bartenders, bars and food & wine shops.

Anne SanGiovanni, the co-founder and owner, speaks to the evolution of Orasella-a journey that required well over 250 lbs of cherries to find the perfect finish to a cocktail.

Learn the proper distinction of your Shirley Temple cherry vs the honorable Maraschino that Orasella produces. Hear the story of how it all began-2 working moms who sought each other's company while enjoying a creative outlet. Both seeking quiet from the chaos, saddled up at a bar one night, doing their R&D, sipping cocktails thinking, "This drink is good, but...."
Listen in as Anne shares the learnings, trials, and victories of starting from scratch and establishing a well known brand for any sophisticated sipper.

She also shares her tips for some local establishments slinging some of the best food & bev! Orasella's one of my go to resources for thoughtful, intriguing cocktail recipes-hands down,

Don't forget- Orasella is gifting a jar to one lucky guest at our April 28 event!
Hope you're the lucky one.
