In-Person Class: Mixology 101: Shake, Stir & Social (DC)

Shake, stir, and socialize with a hands-on mixology experience led by Dana!

Join us for a fun, interactive cocktail class designed to introduce the essentials of mixology in a relaxed, social setting. You’ll explore four iconic cocktails while learning approachable techniques you can easily recreate at home.

What You’ll Make

You’ll explore a lineup of four classic and creative cocktails, including a Strawberry Kisses (Strawberry Daiquiri), a Caliente (Spicy Mango Margarita), an Exquisite (Classic Old Fashioned), and a Sip in the City (Classic Cosmopolitan). Dana will demonstrate a variety of essential techniques, including building, muddling, shaking, and proper cocktail presentation.

After the demonstrations, it’s your turn! Each guest will select two cocktails from the lineup to craft themselves using professional bar tools. Along the way, you’ll learn how to balance flavors, work with different mixing techniques, and elevate the presentation of your drinks.

Perfect for date night, a night out with friends, or anyone looking to build their home bartending skills, this class combines hands-on learning, guided tasting, and great conversation. All tools and ingredients are provided—just bring your curiosity and appetite for fun.
