IN-PERSON: The Old Fashioned Cocktail (Ann Arbor)

These days we call any mixed drink a cocktail, but that used to refer to a very specific style of drink, celebrating the holy trinity of spirit, sugar, and bitters. These days, we call that an Old Fashioned, and this class will trace the evolution of that drink from history to the modern day as you mix and sample variations. Note that while today we mostly think of the Old Fashioned as being a whiskey drink, our Old Fashioneds will feature a variety of spirits.

Your booking includes light snacks (pretzels, nuts). The Last Word is closed during the class, so no food service is available. The class includes a combination of history and stories, technique instruction, and hands-on making of cocktails. Plus sampling, of course! Total consumption is equivalent to 1.5-2 cocktails per person over the 90-120 minute class.

READ BEFORE BOOKING

The friendships that have sprung up between strangers seated together at Tammy’s Tastings classes are some of our favorite things and communal tables are an important part of the Tammy’s Tastings experience! But we understand that currently some of you may not want to be seated with people you don’t know, so we are offering both private and communal tables. Attending alone? We apologize, but we cannot guarantee that singles will be seated at a table by themselves, so only buy a ticket if you are willing to be seated with others.

How to book:

• Choose your table type, then purchase the number of tickets for your party. Pricing is per person, not per table.
• Due to table size limitations, the maximum party size is 6 people, and there are a limited number of those tables available.
• Everyone in your group should book on a single order as we cannot guarantee that groups booking separately will be seated together (this is a change from the past where you had the option of specifying people to be seated with).
