A Menu Built Around Your Group
After booking, you receive a cocktail menu to choose from. It can be designed around your group's specific preferences, or you can pick from the drinks guests enjoy most in these classes. Every recipe is built to balance sweet and sour, so drinks taste bright and seasonal rather than sugary.
A sample holiday menu includes a Spiked Apple Cider with cider beer, apple, lemon and cinnamon; a Chai Spiced Bee's Knees with honey, lemon and chai; a Pear and Sage Mule with ginger beer, lemon, pear and sage; and a Pomegranate Cucumber Margarita with lime, agave, pomegranate and cucumber.
Why Teams Book It
The class is designed to celebrate community through the shared experience of learning something new. It works as holiday team building for a small department or as corporate holiday party entertainment for a larger crowd, and because nobody has to travel, it slots neatly into an office afternoon or an evening at home.
Recent clients describe a class for a team of 10 that was perfect, with an instructor who was knowledgeable and answered every question about the history of the drinks and of bartending. Another organizer of an employee holiday mixology class praised how well-organized it was, a stunning set-up, engaging storytelling that kept employees captivated, a presentation tailored to the group's skill level and a team that cleaned up quickly and thoroughly.
About the Instructor
The instructor calls herself a cocktail evangelist. Since 2014 she has taught cocktail history and technique to bar staff and to anyone curious about cocktails, crafted cocktail menus for restaurants and run cocktail events for private in-home parties, weddings, galas and office happy hours. She was most recently a bar manager in San Francisco after working at well-known restaurants in New York City.
In 2020 she started her full service cocktail experience company and has since run more than 500 cocktail events, both virtual and in person.
