This is an old class! Enjoy the notes, and check out the current courses.

Cocktails, like perfume, are a mix of art and alchemy.

In this workshop you’ll learn how to infuse your own spirits to make seasonal and artful cocktails with fresh herbs, spices, nuts, dried fruits and grains. The spirits are then paired with mixers and piqued with the addition of essential oils, which add their own unique accent to these artisanal creations.

We'll try samples of angelica, chocolate mint and basil vodka (amongst others), along with the cocktails they inspire.

You have to be 21 to take this!
