SUMMARY:A Martini Masterclass at KITCH
DESCRIPTION:Fee: $65 \nEveryone knows James Bond liked his martini shaken\, not stirred… but that little detail opens the door to a much bigger story. The martini didn’t just appear fully formed in a crystal glass… it evolved\, shifted\, picked up influence along the way\, and somehow became one of the most recognizable drinks in the world. This class takes you behind that curtain\, breaking down the history\, the myths\, and the small choices that turned a simple cocktail into something iconic… and eventually into modern favorites like the Espresso Martini. \nLeading the experience is Mystic’s own Anthony Caporale\, the creative force behind The Imbible—a series of hit New York musicals built around the history of cocktails and spirits. His style is part storyteller\, part teacher\, making the whole thing feel less like a class and more like an experience you’re part of. You’ll learn how to build a classic martini the right way… the kind that might actually make 007 rethink his order… before moving into equally essential cocktails like the Perfect Manhattan and a carefully crafted Espresso Martini that balances richness and bite. \nAlong the way\, you’ll be working with a curated selection of spirits provided by Spencer & Lynn Wine and Spirit Merchants\, giving you a chance to taste the difference quality makes in every step of the process. And just when you think the night is winding down\, there’s one more perk… an exclusive “last call” shopping window where you can pick up anything that caught your interest at 15% off. Come for the history\, stay for the hands-on experience\, and leave knowing how to make cocktails that actually live up to the reputation.

SUMMARY:Mastering Craft Mixology
