Cocktail boutique opens Saturday in Arlington Heights

A grand opening for Bitter & Sweet Cocktail Boutique in downtown Arlington Heights is scheduled from noon to 3 p.m. Saturday.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony at 157 N. Evergreen Ave. with Mayor Tom Hayes and co-owners Janine Durbin and Scott Sanaghan is set for noon, followed by an open house featuring samples from local craft distilleries, wineries and other suppliers featured in the store.

The 1,600-square-foot space is a combination upscale liquor store and mixology classroom, which received liquor licenses from Hayes and village trustees last month.

Reservations for classes and private parties are now being taken at bitterandsweetcocktails.com.
