Ménage à Trois is making game night enticing again. Inspired by Venetian Masquerades, where identities are hidden behind masks, adding mysterious excitement to the evening, the Ménage à Trois’ game, “Shadows of Mystery” is a Feast For The Senses. It keeps the identity of select objects hidden in the shadows, so you never know what to expect or what you’ll experience. Players use a blindfold to take away their sight, leaving them to use taste, touch, smell, and sounds to discover what objects lay in front of them.  

Can you recognize the sweet burst of flavor from a blueberry by taste alone? Or a strawberry just by its aroma? 
Does wine have its own distinctive splash as it cascades from the bottle to the glass? 

It is up to the challenger to pick the items for each player to attempt to reveal. Allow your other senses to be heightened by the intoxicating effects of daring to enter the unknown. 

Wherever the fire of the night takes you, make sure to bring Ménage à Trois wine along for the ride. You never know what sensual discoveries will be revealed when you’re playing our Ménage à Trois “Shadows of Mystery” game.

YOUR EXPLORATION OF SMOKED GARNISHING STARTS HERE: 

Rosemary Sprig or Thyme Sprig 
Rosemary’s earthy tones compliment the full-bodied flavor and oak notes of a Chardonnay. While thyme works wonders with sweeter, fruitier wines. 
How to Do It: Ignite the herb, blow it out and dunk it into your drink. If the herb is too green and fresh, it might take extra effort to catch on fire.

Orange Peel 
Lavish your bold wine cocktail with charred-fruit aroma and delicious, smoky, burnt orange oils. Note: These oils happen to be flammable, please be mindful when trying this.
How to Do It: Cut a small-sized piece of zest from an orange, light a match and express the peel’s oils over the match and into the drink. It is best to discard the expressed rind rather than putting into the cocktail.

Cinnamon Sticks 
Dropped into a wine cocktail or sangria, a flamed cinnamon stick creates a heavenly, homemade pie bouquet and a sensual cinnamon flavor.
How to Do It:  Light the cinnamon stick on fire, then drop it into a drink to extinguish the flame.

Cedar or Sandalwood 
Infuse any wine cocktail with a warm, barbeque flavor and a delicate wooded fragrance by smoking cedar or sandalwood chips and extinguish them with a glass.
How to Do It: Create a small pile of wood chips on a fire-proof surface, then light the pile on fire. Smother the burning pile with a wine glass and allow the glass to fill with smoke as you prepare your wine cocktail. When the wine cocktail is ready, lift the wine glass and pour the drink into it.
