Seasonal Specialties: Holiday Cocktails & Traditions

Celebrate the flavors, aromas, and warming rituals of the holiday season in an interactive seasonal workshop. This hands-on class explores the history of iconic winter drinks, tracing festive traditions from medieval eggnog possets to hot spiced concoctions and spirit-forward winter sippers built for cold-weather gathering.

We will dive into the mechanics of holiday entertaining, covering how winter baking spices, rich dairy textures, and warm batters interact with base spirits. You’ll learn essential temp management for hot drinks, egg emulsification, and hosting techniques you can easily replicate at home. Then step behind your station to craft three distinct seasonal cocktails that move from rich and creamy to hot and spiced to bright, spirit-forward warming.

Ideal for cocktail enthusiasts and holiday hosts looking to master seasonal flavor profiles and festive entertaining skills.
