The 7/31 Camp Cocktail San Francisco class is SOLD OUT. Grab your tickets today before this class sells out. Cheers!

Simon and Renée felt that camp shouldn’t be just for kids, so we created a series of classes: Camp Cocktail. Each “camp” is about the history and stories of three great American cities. Our inspiration came from Tennessee Williams, who famously wrote, “There are only three great cities in the U.S.: New York, San Francisco, and New Orleans. All the rest are Cleveland.” We don’t know whether Williams had any cocktails in mind, but many, no numerous classic cocktails came to mind for a mixologist and a historian. We begin this summer series with New York!

Every camp has activities, and ours are stirring and shaking classic cocktails while learning the stories behind the drinks. After the Gold Rush in 1849, San Francisco was transformed overnight into a bustling, chaotic, diverse city. It was the center of American drinking culture in the new west inventing iconic drinks that are part of the American cocktail codex. Develop your palate and learn the mixologist’s techniques for making these drinks from The Golden Gate City. Feast on appetizers, and take home your camp recipe booklet to continue your cocktail adventures at home.

This interactive cocktail class combines history and mixology. Hogwash master mixologist Simon Moorby walks guests step-by-step through the making of 3 drinks. Cocktail historian, Renée Cebula of Raising the Bar, tells the stories of how these drinks represent the history of San Francisco.

Class set-up includes bartending stations with all the necessary tools, fresh-made and prepped ingredients, and vintage glassware. Shake, swirl, and sip in style as you hear the stories, learn the techniques, and enjoy the drinks.

Tickets are $65 per person. Your ticket includes three crafted drinks, mixology and history lessons, appetizers, and a souvenir camp booklet.

Must be 21 and over. Each class is limited to 30 guests.
