Private In-Home Cocktail Class in Palm Springs

Turn your night in into a private cocktail-making session led by a professional bartender trained to entertain. Get hands-on rather than watching a demonstration, with approachable recipes and a relaxed, social atmosphere.

• Practice muddling, shaking, and garnishing as you make two or three cocktails
• Explore recipes such as a PB&J Old Fashioned or a Hazelnut Espresso Martini
• Try mocktail options such as the Cucumber Mint Cooler and Citrus Basil Smash

Itinerary

1. Arrival & Setup (30-45 mins before class starts) - your bartender will arrive and greet your group. They will then start preparing for the class by setting up the instruction space and prepping ingredients
2. Welcome & Introduction (10 mins) - your bartender will give you a brief overview of the experience, what makes a great cocktail, and teach about some bartending basics
3. Cocktail Instruction (~25 minutes per cocktail) - your bartender will talk through the origins of the cocktail, its ingredients, and how to make it. This is interactive so follow along and start mixing!
4. Wrap Up (5 mins) - your bartender will answer any remaining questions and offer bonus recipes or take-home tips. If time allows, they make more drinks for the group using leftover ingredients!
5. Cleanup & Departure (45 mins) - your bartender will need to clean up the instruction area as well as bar tools! Please make sure you have a sink available for this!
