Magic in the Mix
When Shakespeare’s fairy king needed a love potion, he called for a little western flower that would make anyone madly dote upon the next live creature that it sees. Sounds like that could get, um…complicated. If it’s romantic spells you’re after, join bartender
Kat Olson for this 75-minute class where you’ll learn how to craft bewitching brews (a.k.a., cocktails) using flowers and herbs that have age-old associations with love.
These enchanting drinks are best made with someone
you dote on (madly or otherwise), so this experience is an imaginative gift for a partner, favorite couple, or a bosom buddy who's keen on creative cocktailing. You’ll accelerate your mixed-drinks mastery with the
Color-changing Love Potion Cocktail Kit that comes with this class. It includes conjuring elements like a glass beaker/jigger, real lavender buds, and an ingenious herbal blend that will transform your drinks into dazzling, color-changing spectacles.
Kat will start the class with an introduction to the ingredients and explain the language of flowers, which lovers relied on for centuries to express sentiments that were too sweet—or secret—for words. Next, she’ll show you how to steep the botanicals and blend syrups as the base for three captivating concoctions (and their nonalcoholic versions): a brilliant Mood Ring Cocktail, a refreshing Rosemary Bay Leaf Gimlet, and an adult Lavender Lemonade. As you mix each drink, they'll "magically" burst into vivid shades of purple and blue until, at last, you'll test the potency of your potion with a zesty sip. When the 75 minutes are up, you’ll have added three delightfully different new recipes to your home-bar repertoire—and learned the secrets to stirring up some spirited sorcery of your own.
