A spirited tour through tipsy history, focusing on the evolution of the cocktail and the origin of some of our most beloved classics!
About this Event

As the saying goes, you can’t appreciate where we are unless you understand how far we’ve come. In this modern cocktail revival, it’s easy to forget about the cocktails that parented the innovative creations being served behind bars today. In this introductory course, attendees will learn about the evolution of the cocktail, how important families of cocktails came into the fore, and the history and (oft-debated) origin of some of our most beloved classics.

Each attendee will enjoy three classic cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, all while learning about the history and how-tos of the drinks being made.

Attendees must be 21 years of age. Class promptly begins at 12pm and concludes at 2:30pm. Hors d’oeuvres will be served at the beginning of the course. Guests are encouraged to stick around after the course concludes to enjoy our Sunday Happy Hour service at 3pm!
