Agave spirits are as varied and distinct as wine. Mezcal, Raicilla and Sotol all have their own terroir, each affected by the hand of the maker. In this class we'll move beyond the "mezcal is just smoky tequila" notion and explore mineral, fruited and vegetal flavors to be found and loved.


After conducting a side-by-side tasting, we'll fashion three cocktails showcasing the special qualities of each expression. As in all of our classes, we cover cocktail-making fundamentals, guiding participants through making (and enjoying) three cocktails – this hands-on class has something to offer both novices & professionals.


What You'll Be Drinking:


• Magica Martini – Agua Magica, Tequila Blanco, Cap Corse Blanc, lime bitters

• Selena & Chris – Mezcal Amaras Verde, Coyote Sotol, lime, cucumber, Angostura, rose

• Bogdaddy – La Venenosa Raicilla Occidental, Shochu, Salers, cacao, rabarbaro, mushroom


For the enjoyment of your afternoon and evening, we do not recommend coming to this class on an empty stomach.
