I typically spend far more time in the summer finding ways to entertain my kids, than trying to find something for myself to do. That is, of course, until the Summer Cocktail Camp schedule comes out and then it’s pretty much all about me! While I never went to summer camp as a kid, this camp definitely makes up for it!
This year the series will span over a seven week period, beginning on July 17th and running through the end of August. The back-to-back craft cocktail-making classes serve as a sort of tour through the Valley’s hottest watering holes.
This year the summer cocktail series will feature new recipes, but it will be maintaining the same process as in the previous series. You’ll be able to experience a revolving list of top mixologists and local bar talent that give attendees an opportunity to mingle and leech information and knowledge.
This year the Summer Cocktail Camp will feature an online ticketing system where you can purchase tickets for any (or all) of the sessions that you are interested in. Don’t dilly-dally, seriously! Last years’ events sold out in just a matter of days and tickets are first come, first served.
