‘26 Summer Seasonal Class

Our Summer Seasonal Class is built for peak warm-weather drinking. Think bright citrus, fresh herbs, soft florals, and that perfect balance of refreshing and a little bit elevated.

You’ll make two cocktails that highlight different sides of summer. One leans juicy and citrus-forward with layered lime, a touch of salinity to make everything pop, and a light, sparkling finish. The other brings in soft floral notes with elderflower, rounded out by sake for a smooth, almost silky texture, finished with bubbles and fresh mint for that crisp, garden-fresh feel.

As always, this is a hands-on class where you’ll learn how to build balanced cocktails from the ground up. We’ll cover muddling techniques, how to use salt to enhance flavor, and how to structure light, refreshing drinks that still feel intentional and complex.

For Hugo’s Sake
This one drinks like a bright, breezy spritz with a little extra personality. You get that fresh, juicy lime right up front, balanced by soft floral notes from the elderflower and a subtle, silky roundness from the sake. The Prosecco lifts everything with a light sparkle, while the soda keeps it crisp and super drinkable. The touch of saline pulls it all together, making the citrus pop and giving it that “why is this so good?” edge. Mint on the nose keeps it refreshing from start to finish.
