Classic and Creative Cocktails

Description

In two fun-filled hours you can become a confident bartender, creating delicious and gorgeous cocktails, to the delight of your guests. A master mixologist will walk you through how to stock a basic bar and create classic cocktails and some fun variations: a Spicy Cucumber Margarita, a Classic Lemon Drop Martini, and the always popular Old Fashion.

The instructor will demonstrate each cocktail on the menu, giving you the opportunity to taste them all. Each student will be paired with a partner and have the opportunity to make their two favorites from the list. The class includes a segment on making simple syrup from scratch and utilizing stylish garnishes, from standard olives and lemon twists to a few imaginative extras. You take away an e-booklet on the well stocked bar including recipes for cocktails, and a space for you to note your personal preferences.

Please arrive 15 minutes early to check in. Guests will work in groups of two throughout the class by sharing ingredients and equipment, but we are happy to seat you with your booking party if you are with a bigger group. Outside drinks are not allowed. 21+ only.

We had Sarah’s business partner as a teacher, and she was fantastic! Very clear, thoughtful and made the class very fun. I wasn’t sure what I was getting into buying the tickets, but I’m glad I did. It was a fun date plus learned to make tasty drinks.
