Get ready for a fun-filled cocktail adventure with mixologist Jackie from the local distillery, 45th Parallel! This hands-on class is your ticket to creating your own craft cocktails while sampling five delicious spirits — vodka, gin, bourbon, rye, and orangecello. Jackie will share the history of 45th Parallel and teach you how to make two signature drinks with a twist: a Basil Gimlet and a Lakeside Old Fashioned.
Discover the fascinating history behind the Old Fashioned, learn how whiskey is crafted, find out the difference between shaken and stirred, and even have a chance to flame your own orange coins for garnish! Plus, you’ll get to craft and enjoy your very own cocktail—you're the bartender now! Want more? You can purchase additional drinks at the end of the class.
Tickets: $30 + processing fees
Ticket includes five samples, demonstrations, history about 45th Parallel and the distilling process, and crafting one cocktail of your choosing
*This event is for 21+, please bring an ID to class.
