Cocktails with Emily: Dry January Edition event photo

Cocktails with Emily: Dry January Edition

Friday January 9th

It’s time for the fourth edition of our cocktail class, Cocktails with Emily! January’s class will be focused on Dry January Mocktails! Not into mocktails? This class is great for anyone interested in learning about cocktail preparation, like making syrups and infusions. Throughout the night, GLD Events Coordinator and former Kentucky Bourbon Trail pro, Emily, will guide you through crafting five unique mocktails. Everyone will walk away with all the cocktail recipes from the evening (including specialty syrup recipes!) and the skills to make your favorite drinks at home. 

 Along with mixing, shaking, and sipping on your mocktails, you could also be going home with your very own Great Lakes Distillery cocktail kit from Bull in China, one of the nation’s premiere bar tool manufacturers. Not in need of a cocktail kit? No worries! You can still sign up without buying the kit. Click here to secure your spot today!
