Step into The Witching Hour, a hands-on mixology experience inspired by witches’ gardens, botanical spirits, and mystical folklore. Throughout the evening, you’ll craft three enchanting cocktails—from herbaceous garden elixirs to smoky purple potions—while learning professional bartending techniques and discovering the unique spirits and ingredients behind each creation.

We’ll conjure up cocktails such as La Bruja, a seductive pear-and-sage gin cocktail with a little witchy attitude; and a mysterious Purple Cauldron made with crème de violette, bubbling with floral flavor and a touch of smoky magic.

Along the way, you’ll taste the featured spirits, create your own garnishes, learn a few bartender tricks, enjoy light snacks, and play a cocktail-inspired game.

You’ll make & enjoy:

• Three witchy cocktails
• Guided spirit tastings
• Garnish-making + professional bartending tips
• Light snacks + a little friendly competition
