While you’re there, why not get a taste of what Toledo has to offer? Destination Toledo has put together a great list of fare and fun guaranteed to show you a good time while you’re visiting.
Saturday, there will be a gathering at 7PM at Toledo Spirits -1301 N Summit St, Toledo, OH 43604. There will be drink specials for American Pickleball players, including ‘Filthy to the CORE’ made with pickle brine instead of olive brine. They put a local twist on the standard dirty martini by using Tony Packo’s sweet hot pickle brine instead of olive, and participants can get it with either Toledo Spirits Gin or Vodka.
The other special is a Negroni Sour (it’s National Negroni Week!) called ‘Heart of APT’ made with Toledo Spirits Heart of Glass strawberry vodka. The drink is fantastic and will satisfy those looking for something sweet instead of the more savory martini.
