Cocktail Classes
Enjoy the experience of a Gulch Distillers signature cocktail class, designed to enhance the skills of the novice or seasoned home barkeeper. Learn some tips, techniques, and recipes to easily mix beautiful cocktails in your home bar. Once each month we lead a FREE, one-hour class on individual mixology topics, at high noon (unless noted otherwise). We will occasionally fill a second class time at 1:00, so make sure to read your confirmation email after registering.
While the education is free, cocktails are available for purchase.
Gulch Distillers Winter Cocktail Class Series
January 26 – Garnish Game
Garnishes come in many forms, from pickles to peels and from fruits to flames. Sometimes the most appropriate garnish is nothing, while other times a drink needs a veritable bouquet of ornamentation for completion. The right garnish can set the visual appearance and the olfactory aesthetic of a cocktail. Join us for a casual, meandering, and hands-on discussion aimed at improving your garnish game.
February 16 – Shrubs 201
We’ve addressed the use and formulation of shrubs before, but only scratched the surface of this rich topic. This session we are honored with the talent and expertise behind Shivelight Shrubs, the premium beverage company based in Missoula. Learn from us and with us as we make, taste, and mix with shrubs.
March 16 – Tea Time
Sometimes we use teas behind our bar. They serve as a versatile tool to add flavor and character to a cocktail. See some of our favorite cocktail recipes and methods for using tea.
