Mixology 101: Holiday Cocktails

Description

Shake, stir, and sip your way into the holiday spirit with festive cocktails made from scratch!

In this fun, hands-on mixology class, a master mixologist will guide you through the basics of stocking a home bar, building balanced cocktails, and creating stylish garnishes. You’ll learn the techniques behind four festive cocktails while tasting each one along the way.

What You’ll Make:

Your mixologist will demonstrate each cocktail, including the Chocolate Peppermintini, Hickory Smoked Old Fashioned, Ginger Tajin Margarita, and Cranberry Gin Fizz. You’ll then work with a partner to make and enjoy your two favorite cocktails from the menu.

You’ll also learn how to make simple syrup from scratch, explore cocktail-building techniques, and create fun garnishes to elevate your drinks. Each guest will take home an e-booklet with recipes, tips for stocking a well-equipped home bar, and space to note your personal cocktail preferences.

There’s no better way to get into the holiday spirit than with a little holiday spirits!

No experience necessary!

Our classes are welcoming, beginner-friendly, and designed for all comfort levels. All ingredients and equipment are provided, and your station will be fully prepped so you can focus on learning, mixing, and enjoying the experience.

Carolyn was absolutely fantastic! We had such a great time, and learned a ton! One of the cocktails that I made was among the best I've ever had, and I'm pretty picky! We loved hearing Carolyn's life story and background - she was truly impressive. Thanks for such a great experience!
