A canned cocktail shop with seating to relax. Each cocktail is crafted with a specific fable in mind to help spark your creative spirit. Say the creators: “At Liquid Fables, we’re inspired by the legacy of stories. Fables connect us to generations of past and future story-enthusiasts. With each telling our myths and tales change, reflecting different times, places, and perspectives. We created Liquid Fables to celebrate the persistence and adaptability of stories.”
Canned cocktails include The Town Mouse & The Country Mouse, The Boy Who Cried Wolf, Tortoise & the Hare, Three Billy Goats Gruff, and more.
