Hands On + Tasting

Location: Kitchen Collage, 430 E. Locust Street | Des Moines, IA 50309

Join us for our hands-on bartending class, Backporch Bartending 101! Get ready to shake, stir, and pour your way through the basics of mixology as we craft three delicious cocktails together.

First up, we'll dive into the world of gin with our Fuego Botanical Gin "Bee" cocktail. Infused with floral and citrus notes, this refreshing concoction is sure to tantalize your taste buds.

Next, we'll transport ourselves to the sun-drenched beaches of Mexico with a Tequila Paloma featuring a spicy maple twist. Sip on the perfect blend of tequila, grapefruit soda, and spicy maple syrup for a sweet and tangy delight with a kick.

Finally, we'll indulge in the timeless classic, the Smokey Whiskey Sour. This cocktail balances the smoky richness of whiskey with the zing of fresh lemon juice and a touch of sweetness, creating a perfectly balanced libation.

But that's not all! Throughout the class, we'll also be serving up nibbles to complement your creations, ensuring a truly immersive and delicious experience.

Whether you're a seasoned bartender or a complete novice, Backporch Bartending 101 is the perfect opportunity to hone your skills, learn new techniques, and most importantly, have a whole lot of fun! Cheers!
