CLASS BY ASSOCIATION offers cocktail enthusiasts an opportunity to delve deeper and refine their knowledge. Classes explore bar basics, tools and techniques as well as individual spirits, their history and use in classic and contemporary cocktails.
The Association's head mixologist, Scott Cushman and Eliah Mountjoy, hosts the 45 minute classes every Saturday, with each class focused on different levels of expertise and topics.
