Some cocktails never left - they were just waiting to be rediscovered. Join us as we recreate the drinks that once defined summer sipping before spritzes and espresso martinis took over.
In this class, we’ll bring overlooked classics back into focus, exploring the stories, ingredients, and techniques behind cocktails that deserve a spot in your summer rotation. You’ll taste a curated lineup of revived favorites, learn how balance and structure shape great warm weather drinks, and pick up simple methods to recreate them at home without overcomplicating things.
Class is 2 hours long, featuring an interactive format, with questions welcomed by creative mixologist Pamela Wiznitzer.
