The holidays are around the corner—and brunch season is about to begin.

From Thanksgiving weekend and Christmas morning to gatherings with friends and family throughout the season, there’s something special about slowing down over brunch. And a thoughtfully made cocktail can turn that gathering into something even more memorable.

Join us at Western Reserve Distillers for Fall Brunch Cocktails, a hands-on BeeHind The Bar experience designed to help you discover, taste, and create cocktails you’ll be ready to serve at your own fall and holiday brunches.

Brunch has always been about more than breakfast and lunch. Since emerging in the late 19th century, it has become one of our favorite reasons to linger around the table, bring people together, and make an ordinary morning feel a little more celebratory.

And cocktails have become part of that tradition.

From bright and refreshing classics to richer, more indulgent favorites, the right brunch cocktail can set the tone for the entire gathering.

At Western Reserve Distillers, we’ll show you how to make them with fresh ingredients, thoughtful technique, and handcrafted spirits produced right here at our Lakewood distillery.

As Ohio’s only certified organic craft distillery, we bring the same attention to ingredients and craftsmanship to our cocktail classes that we bring to every bottle we make.

During this class, you’ll:

Learn & Taste
Explore three distinctive brunch cocktails featuring Western Reserve Distillers spirits and fresh, quality ingredients. Along the way, we’ll talk about the ingredients, techniques, and small details that make each cocktail work.

Choose Your Favorite & Make It Yourself
After tasting all three, choose the cocktail you love most and step behind the bar to shake, stir, and build your own under the guidance of our team.

Learn Skills You Can Use at Home
We’ll walk through techniques you can recreate in your own kitchen or home bar—so when family and friends gather this fall and holiday season, you’ll be ready.

Take the Recipes Home
You’ll leave with recipes you can use again for Thanksgiving weekend, Christmas morning, New Year’s brunch, or simply the next time you have people you love gathered around the table.

Whether you’re the person who hosts every year, you’ve been asked to bring the drinks, or you simply want a few new cocktails in your repertoire, this class is an opportunity to learn something new, enjoy an afternoon at the distillery, and head into the holiday season with a few impressive tricks behind the bar.

Come taste. Come learn. Make your favorite.

Then take what you learned home and make your next fall or holiday brunch one everyone remembers.
