Event Details

Spirit Event

Spirit

Fruity, Floral, Bitter, Earthy, Smoky….what do these terms really mean? And how can you combine these flavors to create a harmonious cocktail?

Join cocktail expert, Kara Newman, as she leads us through the spectrum of taste sensations to learn how the range of flavors blend together in our favorite libations, and how they shape trends in our favorite bars. Through this intensive guided tasting, you’ll develop your palate and “cocktail vocabulary” then you’ll learn to shake and stir your way through classic and cutting-edge cocktails (and even a freestyle cocktail that you will devise!). We’ll discuss the critical flavor elements that make each drink successful, and strategies for creating your own unique flavor profiles at home.
