Cocktail Class

Immersive Masterclass: All About Bitters

When: Sunday May 24th

Instructor: Chris Enns

Class Type: Demo

Join us for an immersive masterclass on all things bitters. We will explore tinctures, bittering agents, and how we use them for balance, flavour, and structure in cocktails. You’ll get to taste the most classic of classics - The Old Fashioned - utilizing the trifecta of bitters styles plus one wild card.

We are thrilled to host Chris Enns, winner of the prestigious World Class Canada Bartender of the Year, for an exclusive 60-minute deep dive into the art of bitters. Your ticket is also an investment in your home bar - every attendee receives 15% OFF all purchases in-shop on the day of the event. Take the knowledge (and the bottles) home with you!

Guests will enjoy tastings totaling approximately two full cocktails throughout the class.

The Experience: Explore the defining ingredient of classic cocktails through their production, functionality, and flavour profiles. We'll cover the three most common styles plus one contemporary alternative by mixing them into a single cocktail so you can taste how such a small addition can make such a big difference.

The Cocktails: Sip four distinct versions of the classic Old Fashioned, each professionally balanced by Chris to demonstrate a different application of bitters.

The Pro-Skills: Learn to move past the 'typical' dash of bitters to create drinks with a sustained and balanced flavor experience. Understand how bitters don't just add flavour but create structure in your cocktails.

The Menu:

The Aromatic Old Fashioned: A study in the original "Cock-tail" incorporating the oldest style of bitters into the oldest style of cocktail.

The Creole Old Fashioned: Utilizing the New Orleans flavour profile and why these botanicals pair so well with whiskey.

The Orange Old Fashioned: The second most common classic bitters style and how its versatility makes it a great choice for a range of cocktails.

The Wild Card: Taking a basic classic and giving it a creative and contemporary spin.

Had a wonderful time attending a demo class! The instructor is extremely knowledgable and explains things that I can understand as a non bartender (I just like drinking a good cocktail!). Got to try some drinks while learning as well. All in all a wonderful time, I’ll definitely be returning
