This lesson in cocktail history allows each student to become aware of drink
origins dating back as far as the late 1700’s and as current as the contemporary
cocktails found throughout today’s cocktail menus.
After developing a discerning palate and historical background of popular cocktail
classics, each student will learn how to put the various spirits together – an
art commonly known as spirits Mixology. Bartending basics are explained and
taught.
The Crunkleton is a private club that makes the old new again by serving up classic
cocktails with modern twists to its members and their guests in an authentic, timeless setting.
