The Spirit of Ireland: Whiskey

Learn the story of Ireland’s national drink: whiskey. This class explores the origins of whiskey and the story of how immigrants to America brought this ancient tradition, transforming what Americans drank for over 150 years. Learn about Irish whiskey and its profound influence on American drinking traditions through a series of three drinks.

This class is part of our It’s Five O'Clock Somewhere series, a global cocktail journey into the flavors, traditions, and stories behind the spirits of American cocktail culture. Each class is guided by Hogwash Whiskey Den mixologists and Raising the Bar’s historian. You’ll learn to craft cocktails and explore the cultural heritage of each featured spirit, while actively participating in the making of drinks.

Whether you're experienced or just starting out, this class provides hands-on bartending and mixology experiences, along with insider tips to elevate your home skills. By the end of class, you'll master recipes and techniques from around the world and gain an appreciation for the people and traditions behind cocktail culture.

Raise your glass and join us for a journey of flavor, history, and craft. Reserve now to enjoy our immersive experience, featuring bartending stations for each pair of guests, fresh-made ingredients, and vintage glassware. Shake, stir, and sip as you deepen your cocktail knowledge and palate.
