The Experience

keyboard_arrow_up

In Aztec mythology, the spirit of the goddess Mayahuel imbued the agave plant with power to soothe the soul. With such enchantment at the heart of agave’s origin story, it’s no wonder that spirits distilled from the spiky succulent inspire magic of the mixological kind. Join Brooklyn bartender Matt Levy for this live virtual class where you’ll learn how to infuse tequila and mezcal with custom flavors and use these legendary Mexican spirits to craft captivating cocktails.

  • While living in Oaxaca, Matt fell (even more) in love with agave-based liquors: These ancestral, generational, celebratory spirits are made with such incredible intention, we don’t need much else to create incredible cocktails with them.
  • Find out why all tequila is mezcal, but all mezcal is not tequila as Matt leads off with an introduction to the two distillations.
  • Discover how to use infusions of fresh fruit and other ingredients to enhance tequila and mezcal with subtle flavor nuances.
  • Learn three drinks that will become essential to your home-bar repertoire: a Paloma spiced with jalapeño-infused tequila, a refreshingly bittersweet Monterita, and a Mezcalgroni that’s a smoky twist on the classic aperitivo.
Class length: 90 minutes
We suggest: Gift this class along with our Authentic Mezcal Infusing Set, which includes a handsome amber glass decanter and 4 tasting cups, all hand-blown by Mexican artisans.

Please note: Our expert mixology instructors create a bar vibe in their classes, with conversation that may include mild profanity and references to the fun of getting buzzed.

About

Since childhood, born and bred Brooklynite Matt Levy has "always liked being in the spotlight," he says. After attending Emerson College, where he created his own Performance Art/Poetry major, he worked as an NYC tour guide, created a unique cocktail club, and now teaches mixology online: all "a natural extension of performing" for him. Entirely (and thoroughly) self-taught, Matt finds it very fulfilling to show people "how easy, fun and accessible it is to make craft cocktails at home."

For this class, you'll need one 8 oz mason jar, a jigger, a cocktail shaker, a cocktail strainer, a barspoon, a mixing glass, rocks and highball glasses, a fine mesh strainer and liquid measuring cup, a knife and a cutting board along with the ingredients listed in the link below. Note: please read the "before class" section on page 4 and complete the steps listed prior to class.
