American drinking traditions expanded west with the nation and changed along the way. The barkeep deserves a place alongside explorers, farmers, and women in our western pantheon. Hear the stories about how what people drank and who served them changed as America expanded west.

The class begins with a mixology lesson. Let’s have a mix-along and sip while we learn the stories of whiskey and the west.

NOTE: This is a private class. If you are interested in hosting a private cocktail history and mixology class via zoom, please contact Renée at BadassBarware@gmail.com for more details.

If people can mix and enjoy a drink on a suspended beam in New York City (see image), then we certainly can figure out how to do the same in the midst of COVID. CHEERS!
