MASTERING TEQUILA COCKTAILS

Tequila cocktails are made for summer — bright citrus, fresh lime, grapefruit, agave, a little spice, and the kind of patio energy that makes everyone want to stay for one more round.

Join us at The Distillery for Mastering Tequila Cocktails, a hands-on cocktail class designed to help you create fresh, organic, bar-quality tequila-style cocktails at home using Western Reserve Distillers’ award-winning organic agave spirits.

In this class, you’ll receive hands-on instruction and sample three tequila-style cocktails:

Tommy’s Margarita
A fresh, simple, patio-perfect margarita made with WRD Organic Blanco, fresh lime juice, and agave simple syrup.

WRD Paloma
A bright, sparkling grapefruit cocktail featuring WRD Organic Reposado, fresh grapefruit, fresh lime, agave simple syrup, and Fever-Tree Sparkling Pink Grapefruit.

Reposado Negroni
A bold, spirit-forward cocktail made with WRD Organic Reposado, Campari, and Antica Formula Sweet Vermouth — perfect for guests who prefer something less sweet and more complex.

You’ll learn how to build balanced cocktails using fresh citrus, organic agave spirits, quality mixers, agave simple syrup, proper shaking technique, easy garnishes, and smart batching tips for entertaining at home.

The Tommy’s Margarita will also serve as a foundation cocktail. Once you understand the base recipe, you can customize it with cucumber, jalapeño, strawberries, watermelon, peach, blackberry, or whatever summer fruit looks best that week.

But the real value is what you take home.

Each guest will receive a printed cocktail guide featuring single-serving recipes, batch recipes, shopping lists, required tools, and step-by-step instructions so you can recreate these cocktails at home for patios, parties, cookouts, summer dinners, or your next backyard gathering.

We’ve done the planning, measuring, testing, and organizing for you. You’ll leave with the skills, recipes, and confidence to make fresh, organic tequila-style cocktails at home without overcomplicating it.

With more than 35,000 ticketed hands-on cocktail class experiences hosted over the past eight years, Western Reserve Distillers is one of Ohio’s most experienced names in consumer cocktail education — and we’re right here in your backyard.

Your ticket includes instructor-led demonstrations, cocktail samples, one hands-on cocktail-making experience, all tools and ingredients used during class, and a take-home recipe packet built for easy entertaining.

And because our classes are held right inside our gift shop, you can grab a bottle of our award-winning WRD Organic Blanco or Reposado immediately after class and start your home cocktail journey the same day.

One quick trip to the grocery store for fresh citrus, grapefruit, mixers, jalapeños, cucumber, and a few simple ingredients — and you can be making fresh, organic, bar-quality cocktails at home that evening.

Fresh ingredients. Organic spirits. Better cocktails at home.
