--Nothin' basic about THESE Halloween drinks. Learn a few things from Madison's seasoned Bartender Intoxicologist with 3 decades of craft...
About this Event

Chief Intoxicologist China Moon brings three (3) decades of luxury bartending expertise to this hands-on Halloween cocktail experience. Thursday, October 30th, 2025—three (3) spooky libations, zero gatekeeping.

You'll grasp stirring and shaking techniques, understand flavor architecture, learn proper bar tool handling, and walk away with skills that actually translate to your home bar. This isn't a casual sip-and-watch. This is a professional technique delivered in a format you can use immediately.

THE SESSION: Three distinct senses. Three signature cocktails built around them. Real bartending fundamentals from someone who's been behind the wood since before craft cocktails became a trend.

WHAT'S INCLUDED:

  • Take-home Tossware® tasting drinkware
  • Class and tasting note packet
  • Recipe and waterproof menu sheets you'll actually reference at home
  • Hooked up hors d'oeuvres
  • Curated background music
  • Direct access to a Bartender who knows what works under pressure and is yet approachable and delightful!

Reservations required. Limited spots.
This class prioritizes FUN + skill development over performance—you're here to learn the craft, not just taste pretty drinks.

Book your spot. Learn from someone who's done this at every level, from underground NYC events to upscale Hamptons and Midwest HNWI gatherings, and is still down to earth. Top-shelf bartending starts with proper fundamentals.
