Mastering Gin Cocktails: Beyond the Gin & Tonic

Gin is experiencing a quiet resurgence — and for good reason.

As more drinkers rediscover botanical spirits, gin is stepping back into the spotlight with renewed appreciation for balance, complexity, and technique.

In this hands-on class, we explore three iconic gin cocktails that showcase celebration, precision, and bold structure.

You’ll receive guided instruction on how to craft:

• The French 75 – bright citrus, balanced sweetness, and sparkling elegance
• The Classic Martini – stirred, chilled, and perfectly proportioned
• The Negroni – bold, bitter, and beautifully balanced

Along the way, we’ll explore gin’s botanical backbone, proper dilution and stirring technique, vermouth ratios, and how small adjustments dramatically change the final glass.

You’ll sample all three cocktails and then step behind the bar to craft your favorite with guided instruction.

Whether you’re new to gin or rediscovering it, this class highlights why it’s once again one of the most respected spirits in modern cocktail culture.

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
