More fun celebration happenings:

Several local restaurants have teamed up with Imagine! to create some specialty dishes and drinks in honor of Imagine!’s 50th Anniversary, and to help us meet our mission!

From August 1–August 15, you will be able to purchase the “Imagine! Blueberry Dream” cocktail from any Big Red F Restaurant (The Bitter Bar, Jax Fish House—three locations, Centro Latin Kitchen, Lola-Denver, West End Tavern, and Zolo Southwestern Grill), and all proceeds will go to Imagine!.

From August 1 - August 14, you will be able to purchase the “Imagine! Burger” at The Sink Restaurant in Boulder, and 20% of the proceeds will go to Imagine!.

Here are the ingredients of each specialty concoction:

“Imagine! Blueberry Dream” at Big Red F Restaurants
Muddle: 6-8 blueberries, 10 mint leaves
Add: 2 oz. Bombay sapphire gin, 1oz. fresh lemon juice, 3/4 oz. 2:1 simple syrup
Shake and double strain over fresh ice in an old fashioned glass (10 or 12 oz).
Top with splash of soda. Garnish with a mint sprig and three blueberries.

“Imagine! Burger” at The Sink Restaurant
Grass-fed Teton Waters Ranch patty on a Breadworks bun
Burger stuffed with Mouco Truffello cheese, giving it a great truffle flavor

Does this make you thirsty and hungry? It should! Please thank Dave Query from Big Red F and Mark and Chris Heinritz from The Sink Restaurant when you are there!

And later today, the Sweet Cow Ice Cream MooMobile will be visiting Imagine!’s Dixon Office building to hand out FREE scoops of ice cream to Imagine! employees. They heard about our 50th Anniversary and wanted to offer their congratulations in a unique and delicious way.

So if you are visiting either Sweet Cow location (Denver or Louisville) be sure to thank the main moo man Drew Honness for his generosity.
