Mixology 101: Classic Cocktails with a Story
Crafting Classic Cocktails with a Story: A Hands-On Mixology Experience
Step into the vibrant world of mixology and uncover the rich stories behind five iconic cocktails. In this immersive, two-hour experience, you’ll not only learn the professional techniques that make each drink shine—you’ll also discover the fascinating history, culture, and traditions that shaped them.
Guided by expert bartender Hiram Murray, you’ll watch step-by-step demonstrations of five classic cocktails, each highlighting a unique spirit, style, and story. From the Cuban-born elegance of the Classic Daiquiri to the Polynesian-inspired flair of the Mai Tai, each drink offers a journey through time and place. You’ll explore the citrus charm and mysterious origins of the Margarita, the whiskey-forward sophistication of the Old Fashioned, and the light, refreshing character of the Seasonal Spritz.
During the demonstrations, you’ll sample each cocktail to help you decide which two you’d like to create yourself. Then it’s your turn behind the bar. Working with a partner, you’ll craft your chosen drinks under Hiram’s guidance, practicing essential mixology skills such as muddling, shaking, stirring, layering, and garnishing. Along the way, you’ll gain insider tips to perfect your technique and elevate your home bartending game.
Whether you’re looking to impress at your next gathering or simply enjoy cocktails with a deeper appreciation, this class blends flavor, technique, and storytelling into an unforgettable experience. Cheers to creativity in every glass!
