Cocktail Class: Zero Proof

IMG 0199 Zero-Proof w/ The Still Bar May 31 @ 1:30 pm - 3:30 pm The Last Word 301 W Huron Street, Ann Arbor, MI, United States Come curiou

Whether you call them mocktails or zero-proof cocktails, every home bartender should have a non-alcoholic drink or two at the ready. Packed with flavor, NA drinks can be every bit as interesting as their alcoholic counterparts, and offer a delicious alternative for those who can’t or don’t want to drink. In this class we’ll cover the structural elements that make non-alcoholic cocktails work, and the secret ingredients that will make your NA drinks shine. You’ll learn tips for converting your favorite alcohol-based cocktail to zero proof (and when you shouldn’t even try). We’re also excited to welcome Nathan from The Still Bar, who’ll be joining us to spill all the (zero-proof) tea. He’ll share the magic behind their spiritless creations, walk us through the thoughtful process that brings them to life, and chat about why N/A options are such a fantastic alternative — whether you’re skipping alcohol for the night or for good. Come curious, come thirsty, and come ready to discover that alcohol-free can still bring full flavor and fun.

The Last Word is closed during the class, so no food service is available. The class includes a combination of history and stories, technique instruction, and hands-on making of mocktails. Plus sampling, of course! Please anticipate working with other groups, sharing ingredients, and doing a mix of sitting or standing throughout the class.

Please note that we have a restricted table layout and use communal seating. Parties of two will almost always be seated with at least one other party of two. Groups of four or more will usually have their own table. You may request a private table in the “seat with” section of the booking form, and we will attempt to honor your request, but there is no guarantee that one will be available. If you have allergies please also let me know in the “seat with” section so I get the message early enough to make accommodations .
