Classic Cocktails 101
Shake things up with a hands-on mixology experience!
Join us for a fun, interactive cocktail class with Mixologist Christopher, where you’ll explore a lineup of timeless classics and bold modern favorites while learning the foundations of great bartending. From spirit-forward stirred cocktails to bright, citrusy shaken drinks, this class is designed to help you build confidence behind the bar and sharpen techniques you can use at home.
What You’ll Make:
In this hands-on class, guests will choose two cocktails from a curated menu of five favorites: Old Fashioned, Boulevardier, Negroni, Lemon Drop, and Gin Rickey. Each drink offers a different flavor profile and technique, giving you the chance to explore stirring, shaking, balancing, garnishing, and proper cocktail preparation with guidance from an expert. Christopher will walk you through the essentials of building well-balanced drinks, using bar tools correctly, and understanding what makes each cocktail shine.
Whether you’re planning a date night, a night out with friends, or simply want to elevate your home bartending skills, this class offers the perfect mix of education, hands-on practice, and a lively social atmosphere. All tools and ingredients are provided.
No experience necessary!
Our classes are designed to be casual, approachable, and fun for everyone—whether you’re brand new to cocktails or looking to level up your skills. With your workstation fully prepped, all you need to do is show up ready to mix, learn, and enjoy.
