The Art of the Coffee Cocktail

Explore the rich intersection of roasted beans and fine spirits in an interactive exploration of coffee-driven cocktails. This hands-on class covers the history of coffee house culture and classic eye-openers, tracing the evolution from historic warm Irish whiskeys to modern cold brew innovations and rich, velvety flips.

We will dive into the mechanics of coffee mixology, covering how roasted flavor profiles, coffee liqueurs, and cold brew extractions interact with various base spirits. You'll learn essential techniques for balancing sweetness and roasted bitterness, integrating whole eggs for silky textures, and perfecting hot coffee temperature control. Then step behind your station to craft three distinct coffee cocktails: our Cold Brew Espresso Martini, rich whole-egg Improved Coffee Cocktail, and classic warm Irish Coffee.
