The Kensington Hotel
Join Tammy’s Tastings and the team at Relish for an interactive cocktail and food event at one of Ann Arbor’s hidden gems, The Kensington Hotel. At this event you will get a bourbon tasting then get to mix and sample a variety of cocktails featuring bourbon of course! Cocktails will be paired with small plates by Grub BBQ.
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 around 3 cocktails per person over the 3 hour class. You can have zero-proof experience too, but we need to be made aware in advance.
Please note that we have a restricted table layout and use communal seating. Parties will almost always be seated with at least one other party. You may request a private table in the “seat with” section of the booking form, and we will attempt to honor your request, but there is no guarantee that one will be available.
This will be an automatic pre-fixed menu in regards to both food and cocktails. We unfortunately cannot accommodate modifications unless we are told at least 48 hours in advance of any dietary restrictions. If you need such accommodations please reach out prior to booking.
