Spring Cocktail Class with Three of Strong and edible MAINE

Join edible MAINE and Three of Strong for a spring cocktail class that brings the season into the glass.

This hands-on evening is designed for curious drinkers, home bartenders, and anyone who wants to better understand how a great cocktail comes together. Led by edible MAINE Beverage Editor Jason Cousins and the team at Three of Strong, the class begins with a short introduction to seasonal foraging, cocktail archetypes, and the role of ingredients like syrups, shrubs, brines, citrus, and fresh botanicals.

From there, guests will work in pairs to build four seasonal cocktails with guided instruction throughout. You will taste as you go, learn simple techniques you can use at home, and get a deeper sense of how balance, texture, and aroma shape a drink.

To make the most of the evening, all syrups and cocktail components will be prepared in advance. Jason and the Three of Strong team will explain how they are made, how they work, and how to recreate the process in your own kitchen.

Each ticket includes:

• hands-on instruction
• samples of four seasonal cocktails
• light snacks
• water throughout the class
• 20% off spirit purchases made during the event

Guests will work in pairs during the class. Solo attendees are very welcome and will be paired on site.

Space is limited to 26 guests.
