About this Event
January is the month when the bar world quietly pays homage to its icons—those foundational drinks that shaped cocktail culture long before the modern craft renaissance. While most people pack away the holiday décor, bartenders and spirited historians gear up to celebrate the classic cocktails whose influence still echoes through every well-made drink today.
This edition of Classic Cocktails invites you into that lineage. Step inside the Cocktail Collective for an evening that blends history, technique, and interactive mixology, created for professionals and enthusiasts alike. We’ll explore three legendary January cocktails—where they came from, how they evolved, and why they continue to define excellence behind the bar.
But this isn’t a lecture. You’ll shake, stir, strain, taste, adjust, and build each drink with guided, hands-on instruction. You’ll learn core methodology, best practices, flavor profiles, and the balance principles every serious bartender—or cocktail lover—should master.
- A welcome libation to get your taste buds ready for the evening
- A guided and hands-on cocktail-making lesson with a professional mixologist
- Deep dive into the history and origins of the January Classic Cocktails
- Lite seasonal snack tray
- Take-home information and recipes.
This event welcomes everyone—from cocktail enthusiasts eager to learn, to seasoned bartenders looking to refine their craft. Enjoy an evening of education, hands-on practice, and celebration of classic cocktails. Don’t miss your chance to unlock new skills, savor timeless recipes, and connect with fellow cocktail lovers. Reserve your spot and toast to the legends—and to your own mixology journey!
