Sip like it’s the Paris Exposition of 1867 or 1889 and more! Step back in time to the early World’s Fairs, where, during cocktail hour, the American cocktail often took center stage. Participating countries shared their culture by showcasing their wines and spirits on this world stage. The interplay of these new ingredients with introducing the American cocktail to a world audience contributed to the expansion of cocktail culture. Let’s make the drinks enjoyed at the fair.

This interactive class combines history and mixology. Hogwash Whiskey Den’s master mixologist, Simon Moorby, guides you through making three cocktails. Your mixology lessons include the techniques and correct use of the barkeep’s tools and techniques. Historian Renée Cebula with Raising the Bar shares how the fairs celebrated American cocktail culture abroad and at home.

Shake, stir, and sip in style as you hear the stories, learn the techniques, and enjoy the drinks. Enjoy appetizers, and take home your recipe booklet to continue your cocktail explorations at home.

Class set-up includes bartending stations with all the necessary tools, fresh-made syrups and juices, prepped and ready ingredients, and vintage glassware. Tickets are $75 per person. Your ticket includes the following:
