Let’s admit it - we’ve all imbibed a little more than usual this past year… so now we really need to up our cocktail game, right?
Join us on Thursday, May 13th for The RARE x Swill Merchants’ online cocktail class where you’ll learn how to make 3 delicious craft cocktails. The class is on us — all you need to do is add on a cocktail making kit (or supply your own) and we’ll drop the ingredients off to you 1-2 days before the class, or supply the ingredients yourself!
This is a first come first served event with limited capacity! More info below too :)

Cocktail classes begin with Sarah Rosner offering a few reasons why you may want to listen to her (and so no latecomers miss the important parts). Classes also include a general history of cocktails, while fully nerding out on the cocktails made and spirits used, with a rundown of basic bar tools and theorize on how we really taste. Throughout, she will answer cocktail, spirit, life, and bar/restaurant ordering etiquette questions and, of course, make the cocktails with you and your attendees.
