Short Path Distillery

Summer Cocktails Mixology Class

Looking to fine tune your cocktail skills at home? Just looking for a fun date night out? Get schooled on how to make craft cocktails using locally made spirits. Upon arrival, you’ll receive a complimentary welcome punch before we get down to business. You'll get a brief tour of our distillery, and then head to our barrelhouse for an in-depth mixology class with Christine Bossalini, our very own bartender &amp; spirits specialist. Our class will cover everything you need to know on how to properly make holiday cocktails at home. Learn about mixology techniques, tools, glassware, garnishes, and everything in between. You’ll practice your skills by making two summer cocktails featuring Short Path Distillery spirits, and last but certainly not least… sample your creations! If you want to stick around after the class, you can head over to our cocktail bar which will be open to the public until 11:30pm. Note: A ticket must be purchased in order to attend this event. This class size is extremely limited (only 18 seats available) and expected to sell out. Due to the limited class size, WE DO NOT ACCEPT REFUNDS OR TRANSFERS AT ANY TIME FOR ANY REASON. This class takes place in our barrelhouse bar which means it's not fully temperature controlled. Please dress accordingly.
