[note: if you want to take this class by mid-November for up to 4 people send me a note - I am clearing out my freezer and won't be doing this class going forward despite it being Very Fun!]
Clear ice is good ice but drinkable diamond-shaped ice is the coolest! Safely recreate the techniques used by some of the world’s top bartenders at this hands-on super-small craft cocktail ice workshop located right near the Montgomery transit station.
Guided by ice expert Camper English (author of the award-winningThe Ice Book), you’ll transform big clear cubes into three different jewel-like shapes: a diamond, a baguette cut, and an “asteroid” cut. Then you’ll try your hand at making a repeat or a new shape with a free cube.
No experience is necessary and safety equipment is provided - just come with curiosity and a love for trying new things. Bring your phone to capture photos of your homemade creations, but don’t worry if yours doesn’t turn out perfect - you can drink the evidence...
Perfect for anyone who likes arts and crafts that you can eat!
What you'll get
The experience of making 4 ice diamonds.
What to bring
Nothing needed! Just bring a good attitude.

I am a cocktails and spirits writer and educator, covering drinks here in San Francisco for over 20 years, and contributing to the SF Chronicle, Popular Science, Food & Wine, and dozens of other publications. My books have been reviewed by the New York Times and Scientific American.
I have taught classes and given talks for more than a decade, with a particular focus on science and history. (My published experiments changed how ice is made all over the world!) My primary subject matter expertise is in ice, water, bitter flavors, and the history of alcohol and medicine. Everything I know about San Francisco history I learned from studying the saloons of old.
