Zootini

What better place to have a few martinis and snacks than in the middle of zebras, lions & rhinos? Zootini was held in the Africa building in the Peoria Zoo on Friday, May 14th. It was a fundraiser for the zoo with specialty martinis made by some of Peoria's hip restaurants. Publik House, June, Johnny's Italian Steakhouse & Tavern on Prospect all supplied the drinks & drink-makers for the evening. The mango-mojito martini was the hit of the night, made by Sabre Anderson of Publik House. The best new summer drink-fruity and refreshing and full of alcohol!!

Tickets were $35 in advance or $45 at the door. That got you 3 drink tickets and heavy hors d'oeuvres so it was actually not a bad deal. There was also live music outside under the pavilian. Just a fun way to change up your usual Friday night happy-hour!
