The Art of the Cocktail
Adult Enrichment / Food & Drink -
Winter 2026
Learn to make a perfect cocktail. We’ll start with a brief history of how cocktails evolved over time. Get familiar with different spirits, mixers, flavor profiles, and essential bar tools and glassware. Master essential mixing techniques like shaking, stirring, muddling, and balancing sweet, sour, bitter, and savory elements to create a perfectly balanced drink. After dividing into small teams to try our hand at mixing, we’ll toast our handiwork with a group tasting. These classes are a combination of demonstration and hands-on learning.
Winter Cocktails: Warm up your winter evenings by mixing cozy cocktails like the Maple Bourbon Old Fashioned, the Fireside Negroni infused with Earl Grey tea, and the Everything Zen Hot Toddy, a comforting whiskey drink with lemongrass tea and honey. Finish on a festive note with the Holiday Sparkling Spritz, a bright blend of vodka, Grand Marnier, cranberry, and prosecco.
Classic Cocktails with a Twist: Shake up your skills by mastering timeless favorites like the cognac-based Sidecar, rum Mai Tai, vodka-and-ginger Moscow Mule, and the gin-based Aviation. Build a solid foundation while adding your own creative twist.
