Workshops and Classes

I  offer workshops on mixing cocktails. These make for great social events where you and a small group of friends get the chance to learn how to make cocktails and try them. It will expand your home bar and hopefully your cocktail repertoire, and it is a fun social event. So far, I have been teaching classes out of my apartment in Crystal City, but if you live in the D.C. metro area and would like to schedule a workshop or hire me as your private bartender, write me at nathanwilkinson04@yahoo.com.

Below are a few tips for holding a bartending class at home.

Bar Class, August 21 



Bartending class on Thursday, August 21, was a big success! It was me, Meghan and a bunch of ladies in black. Interestingly, all of them were excited to make drinks with blue curacao, I think because it was not available at our restaurant. Drinks made include:

Blue Mojito
4 Blue Margaritas (pictured)
Blue Sapphire Martini (a real martini)
Blue Lady
Russian Qualude (rocks)
Bourbon Smash
Commonwealth
Vodka Martini with twist
Bahama Mamma
