THE CRAFT

Make up to three signature cocktails

Under the guidance of the Coppercraft team, participants craft and enjoy as many as three cocktails during the class, then leave with printed recipe cards to reproduce favorites at home.

THE TASTE

Bar snacks to match the drinks

The class pairs tasting and mixing with small plates from the distillery kitchen—expect pretzels and fries served as you learn the art of cocktail construction.

THE TAKEAWAY

Recipes and techniques to continue at home

Beyond tasting, the experience is built to teach: recipe cards and hands-on practice mean you can replicate the cocktails after the session ends.
