Yes, we’re sad that August is coming to an end, but there’s still so much to look forward to…Labor Day weekend, temperatures below 100 degrees, and humidity not equal to the Amazon River basin come to mind, but even before that, the August Sip & Shop! Join us this Saturday, August 29, from 2-6pm and enjoy a fantastic summer sipper – a Shrub highball!
Adam, Mr Boston Shaker himself, will be mixing Mt. Gay Rum or Christian Brothers Brandy and any one of Tait Farm’s Fruit Shrub syrup flavors in refreshing sample highballs. Topped with sparkling water, a splash of citrus and a dash of bitters, Shrubs are an easy way to enjoy cocktails on a warm afternoon.
And as you sip don’t forget to shop, because everything in the store is 10% off! See you Saturday!

If you’ve been anywhere near Somerville Ave for the past couple of months (or years, if you want to get technical), you know that there has been a lot of construction going on. Well, we’re finally extremely happy to report that (we think) the worst of it is over! And as a result we have new, wider sidewalks and fancy new lamp posts. So what better way to celebrate fanciness and summer than with a sidewalk sale!
So this Saturday only, August 15th, from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM, we’re taking it to the sidewalk with marked down summer and vintage items. We’ll also have tasty limeade and other assorted treats, and everything in the store will be at least 20% off*!
Bring your friends and see you on Saturday!
* Sale excludes items from The Boston Shaker.
