Holiday Cocktail Class with Hogwash Whiskey Den
December 11, 2022 @ 3:00 pm - 5:30 pm
$65
Our holiday class features drinks inspired by the classic holiday movie; It’s a Wonderful Life. In the film, Clarence enters a bar with George Bailey, whom he just saved from drowning. George orders a double bourbon. Clarence, whose last visit to earth seems to have been sometime in the 1800s, requests a “flaming rum punch.” These tipples are the inspiration for our holiday cocktail class — along with stories around the film and American cocktail culture at the time.
Yes, there will be fire. Beginning with a historic punch from England and one of Charles Dickens’ favorites. Then Hogwash Whiskey Den’s master mixologist, Simon, will guide you through 2 additional cocktails inspired by the movie. Your mixology lessons will be completed by using the barkeep’s tools and techniques correctly. And cocktail historian Renée, with Raising the Bar, will illuminate the stories and history behind these classic drinks.
Develop your palate and learn the mixologist’s techniques for making drinks. Enjoy appetizers, and take home your recipe booklet to continue your cocktail explorations 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 shaped drinking culture.
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 recipe booklet. You can purchase ticket via the Event Website link below.
