Bitters, Liqueurs and Cocktail Basics

$95 {includes ingredients, supplies and cocktails}

In this artisanal cocktail lover's dream class we'll be using ingredients ranging from the apothecaries’ cabinet (bitter herbs, flowers, roots etc); mixing and manifesting the perfect recipe for your imbibing pleasure. We'll go over the history behind bitters making, as well as some common and not so common ingredients that make up traditional and new essences. Upon completion we'll have each created our own unique bitters formula to take home, as well as incorporate them into a personalized signature cocktail.

We'll then use pure grain spirits to make our own unique liqueur infusions including a citrus flavor bar (orange, lemon, lime, grapefruit). Triple Sec will forever be banned from your liqueur cabinet after this class! 

We will then be guided in the basics, as well as the tricks and secrets, in creating what is takes to create the perfect balanced cocktail. The fruits of our labor will be played out by enjoying cocktails together with a selection of artisanal cocktail snacks.
