  • 5/5 from Meghan Shain, attended Jul 2026: Rebecca's class was awesome! The list of cocktails to choose from was super interesting and Rebecca created a fun environment where we all had a blast. The class was informative and was great for both people with very little experience as well as those with more experience. The pacing was good, allowing for enough time to enjoy our drinks in between mixing. Great venue as well. We went with our team from work, and many of us thought it was the best team building event we had ever attended. Highly recommend, thanks Rebecca!!

The drinks was fabulous our teacher was fabulous I would recommend this to anyone who would like to have a good time and just enjoy yourself. thank you Rebecca again for a fantastic educational and a lot of fun class
  • 5/5 from Erika Cummings, attended Jul 2024: Rebecca was amazing and we are so happy to have picked this event for our team offsite. Our group was on the smaller side (4) and it is typically hard to find group activities that'll accept our size. I was so thankful to come across her class, her communication was prompt, she was inviting, personable and the class went very smoothly. Rebecca was super knowledgeable and went deep into a lot of drink history which was very interesting for all of us. The bar she hosted at was really cool, great music and great vibes all around. We will definitely be booking Rebecca again for another class in the future, and highly recommend her!
  • 5/5 from Andrea Johannessen, attended Dec 2023: Rebecca was fun, knowledgeable and engaging. All materials were prepped and high quality. Rebecca was also extremely flexible when we had to add more guests at the last minute. Everyone had an excellent time
  • 5/5 from Noa Kabera, attended Nov 2023: Rebecca was amazing she explained us the cocktails and how to adapt them to our taste. This is a great experience, we had so much fun!

Some call me a cocktail evangelist
I am passionate about learning, educating and throwing a darn good party. Since 2014, I've taught cocktail history and disciplines to bar staffs and to humans curious about cocktails. I've crafted cocktail menus for restaurants and conducted cocktail events for private in-home events, weddings, gala's and office happy hours. Recently, I was the bar manager at San Francisco’s Bon Voyage!, and previously worked at Maialino, Barbuto and Dante at Genuine in New York City.
In 2020 I started my full service cocktail experience company and have since conducted over 500 cocktail events virtually and in-person.
