Cocktail Class at Crave Kitchen & Cocktails | May 31, Session 2

Join us for an intimate, hands-on cocktail experience led by 2025 Las Vegas Bar & Restaurant Expo Bartender of the Year, Ava Vitale—Co-Founder and Beverage Director of Crave.
She’s taking her industry experience—Industry Excellence Award Winner, 2026 Expo Speaker, 30 Under 30 Top Shelf Honoree, and back-to-back Stateline Shakeoff 1st Place Finisher—and turning it into an experience that excites, educates, and entertains every participant.

Throughout the class, Ava will share her story, the journey behind building Crave’s bar program, and the techniques, tips, and tricks that have defined her award-winning approach to cocktails.

This is more than just a class—it’s a behind-the-bar look into the creativity, precision, and passion that go into every drink we serve.

We’ll begin with a welcome pour of one of Crave’s signature clarified cocktails, introducing you to one of the most unique cocktail experiences in town.

Then, you’ll build two cocktails step-by-step:

• Crime of Passion – a bright, tropical reposado margarita with passionfruit and coconut
• Blackberry Bourbon Smash – a fresh, balanced bourbon cocktail with mint, blackberry, and ginger beer.

Along the way, Ava will walk you through proper measuring, balance, and cocktail construction—giving you tools you can take home and actually use.

Each guest will receive a curated take-home kit, including:

• Recipe cards for each cocktail
• Mini spirit bottles, so you can make these cocktails at home!
• Jigger, cocktail picks, and bar tools
• Even more fun surprises...

Enjoy our signature focaccia boards throughout the class—perfectly paired to complement the cocktails.

An elevated, interactive afternoon designed for cocktail lovers of all levels.
