Camp Cocktail 3: The 2000s Cocktail Renaissance

This year's Camp Cocktail grand finale is on August 17th, where we will celebrate the vibrant cocktail renaissance of the 2000s. Learn about the bartenders who rediscovered America's Golden Age of Cocktails and, as one journalist declared, "saved the civilized drinking world." These bartenders by night, and history sleuths by day, not only uncovered the drinks of America's drinking past, but also the names and ingredients that had been buried since Prohibition. Join us in discovering the birth of the modern craft cocktail movement by making and enjoying cocktails created by these modern pioneers of the craft, inspired by the classics.

Our cocktail classes are hands-on, featuring bartending stations for each pair of guests. You'll grab onto a shaker, mixing glass, and bar spoon while learning mixology techniques. We'll explain the importance of each method as we guide you through the steps. Our team arrives early to press fresh juices, make syrups from scratch, and prepare all the ingredients needed for class drinks.

It's going to be a joyride packed with history and colorful concoctions! Enjoy mixology lessons with Hogwash Whiskey Den's talented Simon Moorby and Erin Fasbender, and stories and history of the drinks from historian Renée Cebula of Raising the Bar.

The cost of our classes has been creeping up over the last 2 years, and we've tried to cut our margins so as not to have to increase ticket prices. But alas, tickets will be $85 beginning with our summer classes. We appreciate you. Your support over the years of doing these classes has warmed our hearts and pushed us to develop more classes around fun and meaningful topics. If you have any questions, please email Renée at [email protected].

Tickets are $85 per person. Your ticket includes:

• Three crafted drinks
• Mixology and history lessons
• Appetizers
• A cocktail recipe booklet

The class includes a bartending station for each pair of guests, fresh-made and prepared ingredients, and vintage glassware.

Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to learn, create, and connect over historic libations. Join us for a celebration that skillfully blends history and the joy of cocktail crafting. Reserve your spot today!
