Cocktail Classes

Cocktail classes are such a fun way to get together for a good cause. We discuss tools, techniques and components, and we craft cocktails . These are interactive classes, so you have all of the tools to make the cocktails yourself. These classes are an absolute blast! Stay tuned for the next class - be sure to follow us on facebook and instagram!

Proceeds benefit the Rotary Club of Giles County.

Included with every class:

  • guided instruction and three different cocktails (full-sized cocktails that you get to enjoy)
