Prohibition Cocktail Workshop

Speakeasy Classics, Modern Technique.
Step into the stories behind the world's most obscure cocktail era. Learn about key cocktail spirits, and mix three Prohibition-era favourites!

Prohibition was a strange time in history: The speakeasy was glorified, more liquor was drunk in the USA than ever before, Europe stole all the good bartenders, and Canadian Whisky was doing the best sales it's ever seen! If you love the why and how of things, then this is the class for you. Look forward to historical anecdotes, de-mystification, and a lot of drinking!
