Classic and Creative Cocktails

Description

Shake things up with a hands-on mixology experience led by De!

Join us for a fun, interactive cocktail class designed to teach the essentials of great bartending in a relaxed, social setting. You’ll explore a mix of classic and modern drinks while learning approachable techniques you can easily recreate at home.

What You’ll Make:

You’ll explore four popular cocktails: a bright, refreshing Gin Fizz, a smooth and lightly sweet Green Tea cocktail, a classic Cosmopolitan, and a rich, dessert-inspired Girl Scout Cookie Shot. De will demonstrate proper shaking, stirring, muddling, and garnishing techniques for each drink. After the demonstrations, guests will pair up and make two cocktails of their choice using professional bar tools. By the end of the class, you’ll understand basic bar equipment, balance in cocktail flavor, and how to confidently recreate these drinks at home.

Perfect for date night, a night out with friends, or anyone looking to sharpen their home bartending skills, this class balances hands-on learning with great conversation and guided tasting. All tools and ingredients are provided—just bring your curiosity and appetite for fun.

No experience necessary!

This class is welcoming and approachable for all skill levels, from first-time cocktail makers to curious enthusiasts. With your workstation fully set up, you’ll be ready to jump right in and start mixing.

Please arrive 15 minutes early to check in.

You will be seated with your booking party and may work with other students in groups of two by sharing ingredients and equipment. Outside beverages are not permitted. 21+ only.
