“Ethanology Distillery is such a gem in Elk Rapids! Beautiful ambiance, welcoming and knowledgeable staff, and an amazing variety of beautifully crafted drinks. You can truly appreciate the detail and effort put into every cocktail. My favorite is the White Russian, and I can’t wait to try Taste of Magic next!
