Join us this year as we explore spirits from around the globe — discovering their origins, journeys, and influence on cocktail culture.
About this Event

This May, embark on an exploration of tequila’s Mexican roots and the fascinating tale of how it found its way to America. Learn how Prohibition unexpectedly transformed tequila from a hidden gem into a staple of every modern bar.

This class is part of our It’s Five O'Clock Somewhere series, a global cocktail journey into the flavors, traditions, and stories behind the spirits of American cocktail culture.

Experience tequila’s influence on cocktail culture firsthand as Hogwash Whiskey Den’s master mixologist, Simon Moorby, leads you through crafting three signature tequila cocktails. Gain hands-on knowledge of essential mixology techniques and bar tools, while Raising the Bar’s resident historian, Renée, reveals how these drinks helped shape 20th-century drinking trends.

Whether you're experienced or just starting out, this class provides hands-on bartending and mixology experiences, along with insider tips to elevate your home skills. By the end of class, you'll master recipes and techniques from around the world and gain an appreciation for the people and traditions behind cocktail culture.

Raise your glass and join us for a journey of flavor, history, and craft. Reserve now to enjoy our immersive experience, featuring bartending stations for each pair of guests, fresh-made ingredients, and vintage glassware. Shake, stir, and sip as you deepen your cocktail knowledge and palate.
