01/30/2026 Friday at 5:30-7:30pm Craft Cocktail Workshop: An Old Fashioned Evening

Learn the science behind what makes cocktails work! In this class, Dr. Kevin Peterson will guide attendees through the world of Old Fashioned Cocktails.

 

Calling all old-fashioned lovers! In this class we'll make a classic old fashioned, along with tasting how the relative proportions of bitter and sweet make or break the drink. We'll talk about ice, and use some tricks of thermodynamics to make an old fashioned that can sit in the glass for 30 minutes and still taste great. We'll make a modern 'Oaxaca' variation on the classic, and for the sake of completeness, we'll even taste the often-reviled Wisconsin old-fashioned. If your favorite classic is the tried and true old-fashioned, you need to be in this class.

The class price includes 2 full-size old-fashioneds along with several more tastes. 

• This workshop is a mix of lecture and hands-on mixing and tasting.
• All tools and ingredients will be provided
  

Be sure to check out Kevin's book - Cocktail Theory: A Sensory Approach to Transcendent Drinks - books are in the shop and will be available to purchase the evening of the workshop.
