Tammy’s Tastings with Mixologist Tammy Coxen

Do you love craft cocktails? Do you like to mix drinks at home, but want to take your mixology skills to the next level? Tammy’s Tastings cocktail classes are for you!

You’ll receive your recipe list 7-10 days prior to the event, giving you plenty of time to shop and prepare any optional specialty ingredients. Tammy will tell the stories of the first few cocktails, including their ingredients and history, using pictures, videos and live demonstrations. We will then take the first break for mixing! You will have the option of mixing your choice of cocktail(s) from the list of 8-10 provided, and get live tips on substitutions and ingredients as needed. The second half will give you more stories and pictures about the rest of the cocktails, followed by a last round of mixing, questions and sharing.

Wartime Drinking (sequel to Prohibition in America)

World War II had a profound impact on not only what we drank but also how we drank, especially in the decades that followed. Discover cocktails that were actually sent to the front to fortify soldiers, drinks that were invented in bars to commemorate ships and planes, and why Canadian whiskey reigned supreme after the war. This class will feature a variety of cocktails that will help us look at surprising and long-lasting impacts of the war, mostly in the US, but also around the world.
