Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale at Troon North is celebrating Earth Day with a Tequila & Terrarium class at Proof, the resort’s American restaurant and canteen, on Saturday, April 22. Guests will learn how to create a take-home terrarium, sip on signature tequila cocktails and indulge in a special chef-curated Earth Day menu, all while taking in sweeping views of the high Sonoran Desert and Pinnacle Peak.
The Tequila & Terrarium class takes place at noon on the lower patio of Proof, where a professional floral designer will walk the group through a one-hour class focused on creating a custom terrarium that participants can take home with them. While creating the perfect terrarium, guests will enjoy cocktails by Astral Tequila and hear from Mixologist Enrique Larios about how the tequila brand is using recycled agave fibers to create adobe bricks that are used to build homes in communities of need in Mexico.
To commemorate Earth Day on Saturday, Proof will also feature a three-course Earth Day-inspired menu created by Proof Sous Chef Edgar Flores in conjunction with Executive Pastry Chef Yudith Bustos. The menu starts off with a tequila and citrus baby beet salad featuring endives, goat cheese, toasted pistachio and agave blueberry vinaigrette for $21. The main course special will feature a cedar-plank smoked sustainable salmon, with agave-rosemary glaze, baked yam, spring vegetable salad and smoky agave-lime vinaigrette for $39. For dessert, “Earth, Wind & Fire” brings together macerated strawberry, cookie streusel, manjari chocolate crémeux, pavlova and cherry “smoke” for $17.
The resort’s Earth day celebration also presents the perfect opportunity to book a relaxing treatment in The Spa. Many treatments on the menu feature desert botanicals, including the Nopal Massage, which incorporates the application of warm cactus gel delivered using cactus paddles placed directly on the skin. Other signature treatments include the Turquoise Sage Renewal and the Jojoba and Prickly Pear Body Polish.
While on the property, there are also plenty of opportunities to connect with the surrounding Sonoran Desert, including onsite hiking, landscaping tours, and outdoor yoga and fitness classes.
The Tequila & Terrarium class includes paired tequila cocktails and is $65 per person. Make your reservation to the Earth Day celebration at Proof here. Learn more about Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale’s commitment to sustainability and its environmental programming here.
