Ready to go beyond gin & tonics and strawberry daiquiris? Curious why some drinks are stirred and not shaken? Why do those “mixologists” have to have suspenders and handlebar moustaches, anyways? Get some hands-on experience this IAP learning about classic cocktails and bartending in a craft environment. You’ll shake, stir, and strain your way through over 150 years of cocktail history, from the earliest definitions of a “cocktail” to cutting edge drinks grounded in classic technique.
