Shake it up: Mixology Basics

Take control of cocktail hour! Learn how to assemble your own bar at home, and create top-shelf concoctions in a fun, interactive setting. You’ll learn the basics of bartending throughout this two-hour class, developing your own personal flair along the way. Our resident mixologist will explain how to select the right glassware, prepare garnishes, stock your bar, and improvise on the fly. Each student will be paired with a fellow mixologist, so get ready to make new friends! (Everyone will create two specialty cocktails, and participate in a miniature mixology competition.) The drink menu includes: Martini, Cosmopolitan, Manhattan, Old Fashioned, Between the Sheets, Margarita, and more.

Please arrive 10 minutes early to check in, especially if you’re part of a large group. 21+ only.
