Due to the popularity of our culinary mini-courses, ICE is now offering a series of short-form classes focused on mixing up delicious, refreshing cocktails. Enjoy learning the tricks of the trade in just 90 minutes, and you'll quickly become the head bartender at any party! Start your night at ICE: Learn the tricks of the trade to make retro cocktails that would make Don Draper feel right at home in a space-age bachelor pad. You'll learn to make: the classic Whiskey Sour; Gibson; Tom Collins; and Harvey Wallbanger.
You will work in teams to execute the class menu. At the end of class, participants gather to enjoy the food they have prepared. Wine is served with meals in most classes. All class menus are subject to change. While a snack platter is offered in both morning and evening classes, you may want to consider a light snack before joining us for class. Students are encouraged to bring a light lunch or dinner to all pastry classes.
