August Camp Cocktail Class: Cocktail Time at the World's Fair

Take a tasting trip through 1960s and 70s cocktail culture through the drinks served at the World's Fairs in the great PNW. From Seattle's Century 21 Exposition to Spokane's Expo 74, drinking culture was having a moment but on the precipice of change. This final class of Camp Cocktail will be about the pushes and pulls of American culture that affected what fairgoers imbibed at the fairs.

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 to the world.

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.
