3 hours Location Culver City Class size 1 to 18 guests   $135

Shake, stir, sip, and snack your way through a playful throwback to the classic cocktail party! In this hands-on class, you’ll learn the fundamentals of crafting great cocktails while preparing retro-inspired bites designed to pair with each drink.
We’ll kick off the evening with Truffle Popcorn while your chef demonstrates essential cocktail techniques, including shaking vs. stirring, proper dilution, straining, ice selection, and garnishing. You’ll taste small pours of Martini variations along the way and learn how subtle changes can transform a classic cocktail.
Then it’s your turn! Working hands-on, you’ll prepare four classic cocktails, each paired with a fun, nostalgic bite:
  • Old Fashioned + Rumaki
  • Margarita + Nacho Cheese Straws
  • Mojito + Mini Ceviche Tostadas
  • Cosmopolitan + Old Bay Crab Pinwheels
Come ready to mix, mingle, cook, and discover the techniques behind some of the most iconic cocktails of all time. It’s part cocktail class, part cooking class, and all party.
Must be 21+ to attend.
