Do you like day drinking?
Do you like learning?
Do you like pizza?
Do you enjoy the company of friends and a bomb bartender while you do the aforementioned things?
If the answer to these questions is yes (and if it's no we probably can't be friends), you need to check out this brand spanking new cocktail class being offered at Coppi's Organic in Cleveland Park. Weather you are a DC area local or traveling through for a weekend trip or bachelorette this is such a fun thing to put on your calendar. I was invited with a coupe other locals to preview the class before it actually opens up to the public.
The bartender, Fabian Malone (@roninbartender) takes you on a history trip through all the different kinds of alcohols you will be taste testing before getting into the actual cocktails. In our case we ran through roughly eight different rums from all over the world. We learned how each of them were distilled and how that process came to be. We then crafted our own Jungle Birds and a wicked Peach Coconut Batida (which I am holding below, clearly my favorite). The first official class that will be offered is called 'Alchemia Americano,' where you will get to make four different cocktails (not all rums - and do some tastings first of course), and eat some delicious organic pizza (to make sure your buzz stays a buzz and not a blackout). The whole thing is super fun and you get to #DrinkAsYouLearn. Seating is pretty limited so get your tickets now if you want in (here). I am thinking this would be a great birthday gathering or gift, a bachelorette party event, or just for folks who are interested in making better cocktails.
