The Witching Hour: Potions & Elixirs

Take one class or take them all!

In this hands-on mixology class, join us for a spellbinding experience inspired by witches' gardens, botanical spirits, and mystical folklore. 

Throughout the evening, you'll craft three enchanting cocktails—from herbaceous garden elixirs to smoky purple potions—while learning professional bartending techniques, the stories behind the spirits, and the magic hidden within every ingredient.

We’ll conjure up cocktails such as La Bruja, a seductive pear-and-sage gin cocktail with a little witchy attitude; and a mysterious Purple Cauldron made with crème de violette, bubbling with floral flavor and a touch of smoky magic.

Along the way, you’ll taste the featured spirits, create your own garnishes, learn a few bartender tricks, enjoy light snacks, and play a cocktail-inspired game. 

You’ll make & enjoy:

• Three witchy cocktails

• Guided spirit tastings

• Garnish-making + professional bartending tips

• Light snacks + a little friendly competition

Come curious, leave with a few new tricks up your sleeve!
