Along with jazz, the cocktail is one of America's greatest gifts to the world. You will learn about the birth of these lovely beverages and enjoy a pre-cocktalian punch from colonial times. Bradstreet's mixologists will explain basic bar gear: shaker, muddler, strainer, juicer, zester, jigger and you’ll discover the subtle and necessary steps to make the perfect cocktail. Last, but certainly not least, you’ll be introduced to the science of fermentation and distillation and learn how they create a diversity of spirits. Carefully selected samples of gin, rum and whiskey from Bradstreet’s exceptional collection will be offered for tasting.

Where: Bradstreet Craftshouse Restaurant, located on the ground level of the Graves|601 Hotel, 601 First Avenue North, Minneapolis, MN 55403.

Cost: $45 per person in advance; $55 at the door, subject to availability. Price includes historic punch, spirit samples, snacks and instruction by Bradstreet's award-winning mixologists. Menu items and full bar service available at an additional charge after the event.

HELP US PLAN FUTURE PROGRAMMING
 
As you may know, we’ve been around for almost two years now, hosting events, classes and workshops for creative and adventurous adults like you.
 
Our next step will be to realize our dream of a separate workshop with tools and equipment, space for classes, room to store projects-in-progress, a place to relax, drink a cup of coffee and buy one another's works. Before we commit to leasing a space we need to know how many of you are prepared to pay for such a shop
 
Please take just two minutes to complete this survey online.

 
We'll share the results with you in a few weeks.
 
Incentives? Complete the survey and we’ll give you $5 off a First Friday Event or $10 off a class. What a deal!
 
Thank you,
