A Toast to Spring: Lexington Glassworks and Botanist & Barrel Present “Glass Garden” in Downtown Asheville

Spring has officially arrived in Asheville, bringing with it an exciting new collaboration that’s as refreshing as the mountain breeze. Lexington Glassworks and Botanist & Barrel, two small businesses located in downtown Asheville, have come together for the Asheville Downtown Association’s Best Bloomin’ Beverage Contest—and the result is pure seasonal magic.

Watch as Botanist & Barrel creates this cocktail in one of our Iris Spring Seasonal Tumblers. 

The ADA Best Bloomin’ Beverage Contest is part of a larger initiative to celebrate Asheville’s vibrant small business community and to invite locals and visitors to explore the tastes, sights, and sounds of downtown.

So, if you're out and about now through May 29, be sure to stop by Botanist & Barrel, raise a glass of “Garden Glass,” and show some love to the makers, shakers, and tastemakers of Asheville. The People’s Choice Award winner will be announced at the Community Concert on May 29th, so don’t forget to vote!

3% of proceeds from the cocktail and glass will be given to RiverLink.

If you would like to purchase the Iris Tumbler, please visit our website. Each season, Lexington Glassworks donates a portion of the proceeds of each glass to a local nonprofit. This season, 3% of proceeds from our “Iris” tumbler will be donated to RiverLink. RiverLink promotes the environmental and economic vitality of the French Broad River and its watershed as a place to live, learn, work, and play. Each purchase goes to help “educate the next generation of river stewards; underwrite water and land management for a healthy watershed; support climate resilience; and work to restore a thriving French Broad riverway for all.” When you purchase this tumbler, you are not only getting a unique piece of art, but you are also supporting the movement toward restoration and resilience in our community.
