Core Virtual Cocktail Classes
Year-Round Lineup

Picture
Mastering the Bourbon Classics: They call ‘em ”classic” for a reason... In this class, we’ll master some timeless favorites (with some playful variations) – the fresh & frothy egg-white Whiskey Sour and a stirred & spiced brown-sugar Old Fashioned (spiced whiskey & cider punch is also an option).
BeGIN with Gin: There’s no better place to beGIN! Using some classic cocktail templates as our launch pad, let’s explore some unique & exceptionally tasty gin sips, like a piña colada-inspired gin fizz, a gin Hemmingway daquiri, or a stirred & sophisticated Martinez.
Tinkering with Tiki: Dive into the deep end of tropical cocktails - no mixers, blenders, or swimsuits necessary! Inspired by the craft-conscious, time-honored tradition of tropical drinks, we'll mix up some rich and vibrant cocktails, highlighting spice, citrus, tropical fruit, and of course, rum!
Tequila Is My Spirit Animal*: Like a black dress, a great reposado Tequila is ready for any occasion and never goes out of style... That's why we love it. In this class, we'll mix timeless classics and fresh riffs that surround a great tequila with flavors like elderflower, lime, strawberry, basil, & more.
*Airplane-Size Bottle Format Available for Corporate Events
Stirred & Stiff Madmen Classics: Spotlighting Rye Whiskey, a quintessential American spirit, this class is for all you Manhattan drinkers whose go-to sip is stirred & boozy. We explore bitterness & seasoning with several types of cocktail bitters as we stir up some excellent riffs that take the Manhattan & Old Fashioned to the next level.
Bittersweet Symphony: Bittersweet liqueurs & amari – those lovely elixirs which began as “medicinal tonics” to rouse the spirits (no wonder they worked) – are backbar staples! In this class, we’ll feature one of our favorites! Aperol, with notes of orange & rhubarb, plays a beautiful accompaniment in our gin sling & bourbon boulevardier. 
Mezclar con Mezcal: Feeling adventurous? Have a thing for smoky sips? Travel south with us as we dive into one of Mexico’s most complex and artisanal spirits (whose name nearly translates to “mixing”), Mezcal… A perfect spirit for creating fresh & eye-openingly interesting cocktails!

IN-PERSON Cocktail
Class Offerings
Available in the Inland Northwest: greater Spokane, WA + Coeur d'Alene, ID region

At Spirited, we offer a variety of classes to meet every taste and interest. Check 'em out, and choose a class that tickles your fancy! Additionally, all of our virtual cocktail classes can also be adapted for in-person cocktail class events.
1. You Don’t Know Gin
Oh gin, one of distilling’s most versatile and least-celebrated creations! From the tried-and-true London Dry gins to the complex-and-nuanced American Botanical gins, and countless more in between, the choice and variety of fabulous gins continues to grow, as does the innumerable cocktail creations they spawn. Let’s sample a few of the great gin varieties from around the globe, and use them to create some superb sippers that highlight their character. With cocktails ranging from the fresh and frothy to the vibrant and spiritous, we’ll come to a richer appreciation of this enigmatic spirit. 
2. Exploring The Classics: Gin
The earliest bartenders and mixologists the world over knew from the start that this bright, subtly complex, highly-adaptable spirit could not only serve as a formidable foundation for many great cocktails, but that its notes of juniper, botanicals, and citrus would stand the test of time. Come along as we explore some of the finest classic gin cocktails from prohibition and before. From the complex and boozy, to the bright and fizzy, come see why these classics (and their many variations) remain menu mainstays at the world’s most revered cocktail establishments. 
3. The Spirits of Mexico
No one can shame the simple, exquisite taste of a well-crafted Margarita (truly, in my opinion, a great margarita can be cocktail perfection in a glass). But this simple, irreplaceable tequila cocktail is just the beginning, a gateway to a vast, rich landscape of spirits from across Mexico, and the many cocktails they star in. Join us on a cocktail journey south of the border to explore the diverse world of Tequila and Mezcal cocktails!
4. Ode To Whiskey
The quintessential sipping spirit, from the smoky and peaty single malts from the Scottish Highlands, to the Spicy Ryes and Vanilla-Smooth Bourbons of Kentucky and well beyond – whiskey has long been a staple of the drinking world. As Mark Twain said, “Too much of anything is bad, but too much good whiskey is barely enough.” While a dram of great whiskey needs no companion, it also makes a superb cocktail. In this class, we will dabble in the world of whiskey cocktails, stirring and shaking up some drinks that celebrate this timeless spirit!
​​5. Celebrating The Season
In this rotating class, we’ll craft cocktails that celebrate the flavors of the season! During summer, we will make drinks that feature everything from garden cucumbers and fresh citrus, to Italian basil and fragrant mint. While in the cooler months, we'll explore other seasonal flavors in our cocktail-making, like apple cider, maple, and spice in the autumn or figs, pear, and cinnamon in the winter. Get into the spirit of the season!
​6. Madmen Classics
Whether you discovered cocktails through your grandfather’s liquor cabinet, your family’s drinking tradition, your suspender-wearing hipster friend, or perhaps watching the TV show Madmen... Welcome to the world of cocktails! Whether you’re just getting started, or you just want to spend some time savoring the classics, there is no wrong time to practice, perfect, and enjoy these regal members of the cocktail royal family – the Dry Martini, the Manhattan, & the Old Fashioned.
7. Custom Class - Designed For You!
If you've got an idea for a particular type of cocktail you'd love to explore, or perhaps an ingredient that you'd like to feature and learn about, we can work with you to design a custom cocktail class menu just for you and your special event! 
*Know there is an additional cost associated with designing a custom menu, and in this option, the liquor/bottle costs may be higher depending on your choices and preferences.
