If you’re familiar with the cocktail programs at any of these outstanding spots, you’ll know that there is a wealth of knowledge and talent behind these bars. Belly up to the bar and soak up all of that genius, at the very least you’ll have a fantastic afternoon but you could also walk away with some new tricks to pull out at your next gathering and really impress your friends.

2018 Cocktail Camp | The Bucks

Each event in the lineup is $38 per person and includes four cocktails during the two hour instructional and entertaining class as well as a special takeaway gift. Tickets can be purchased through the event website, and a limited amount of tickets are available for each event. If you’re interested in any of the events, I encourage you to move fast. Last years event sold out in mere days, so you won’t want to waste any time.

The 2018 Cocktail Camp is a great way to get to know the leaders in the cocktail industry here in the Valley. You may just find your new favorite hangout and make a new friend or two.
