If we were asked to teach your next corporate mixology class in Chicago, this is what we would do..

This year has been enjoyable, and 2026 has begun on a high note with numerous mixology classes we've conducted during this busy season in Chicago. We truly enjoy educating others and being creative. If you asked our team and were unsure where to begin, this is where we would start.

Let's start with concepts first. Here are some concepts that we have done the past that are a hit for mixology classes:

• Bourbon Class - Consider twists on classics like an old fashioned or a whiskey sour.

• Margarita Class - Perfect for summer gatherings when a light and refreshing drink is desired.

• Mocktail Class - Great for corporate events starting off a dry January.

• Espresso Martini Class - ALWAYS A BLAST EVERY TIME.

• Seasonally Themed Class- Cinco De Mayo Tequila Class, Valentines' Day, Kentucky Derby.

Once the class is chosen, we will refine the final details that truly impress your class participants.

• What kind of aesthetic are we aiming for?

• Glassware or disposable glassware?

• Do we want branded napkins?

• Is there a specific color/look we desire for the cocktails?

Coordinating the day of the event is crucial for the class's success. The next step involves organizing all the logistics for the day. Navigating the loading process into some of Chicago's stunning skyscrapers can be challenging, so we ensure to plan with sufficient time.

Time to start your mixology class! Here are some things we do to make it fun and exciting.

• Students participate hands-on, experimenting with ingredients and techniques under expert guidance, fostering camaraderie as they share and learn.

• Each session begins with a brief history of cocktails, sharing intriguing stories about classic drinks and mixology's evolution.

• We introduce friendly competitions, like a 'best cocktail' challenge with prizes to boost excitement. Themed classes focus on specific cocktail styles, such as tiki drinks or classic martinis, allowing deeper exploration.

• We emphasize fresh, high-quality ingredients, teaching the importance of local produce and artisanal spirits.

• Each class ends with a tasting session for feedback and discussion, reinforcing skills and building a community of passionate mixologists. Our classes are designed to be educational, memorable, and enjoyable for all.
