Basics of Stirred Drinks

Duration

1 Hour

About the Course

In this class the guests will take a look at booze-forward cocktails as the broad category of drinks that attempt to balance booze, bitter, and sweet.

We will mix together through the Old Fashioned (with a Sazerac variant), Manhattan (with a rye vs bourbon tasting, and perfect and black variants), Martini (with a classic/modern and twist/olive garnish tasting), and Negroni (with a ratio adjustment lesson and boulevardier variant).

Guests will learn how to stir, pour and garnish like a pro!
