Special Mixology Class

This hands-on cocktail class puts local tequilas and mezcals to work alongside fresh regional fruit, giving guests a two-hour session behind the bar rather than a table service experience. Instead of watching a bartender pour drinks, participants mix their own, working through the techniques behind a set of classic Mexican cocktails while an instructor guides the process step by step.

The session runs as a straightforward hands-on activity: guests are paired with the base spirits and fresh produce that give each cocktail its character, then walked through the mixing techniques needed to bring the drinks together properly. Along the way there's room to notice the smell of the tequila or mezcal, the texture of the fruit being muddled or squeezed, and the small adjustments that separate a rough pour from a balanced one. Hummus and crudites are served alongside the drinks, giving the group something to snack on between rounds as they move from one cocktail to the next over the course of the two-hour class.

Every station is set up with real bar equipment — jiggers, shakers, mixing glasses, proper glassware, a masher, tongs, and bottle openers among the tools provided — so the class functions less like a tasting and more like a working bar shift compressed into two hours. That detail matters for anyone who wants to walk away having actually built the muscle memory of shaking, straining, and garnishing a drink rather than just sampling one someone else made.

The format suits travelers who want an interactive, participatory activity over a passive one — people curious about tequila and mezcal specifically, or anyone who enjoys learning a hands-on skill on vacation rather than just consuming the finished product. It's accessible to a wide range of guests: the venue is wheelchair accessible, service animals are allowed, and infants and small children can be brought along in a pram or stroller, though infants need to sit on an adult's lap and the class isn't recommended for pregnant travelers or those with poor cardiovascular health. Public transportation is available nearby for guests making their own way to the venue.

The class itself covers the cocktail-making experience, the equipment used at each station, and the hummus and crudites served alongside the drinks. Transportation to and from the venue is not included, though the operator can recommend transfer options for guests who need them. Since the class centers on mixing and tasting spirits over a two-hour session, it's worth arriving without other plans immediately after and dressing comfortably for standing at a bar station for the duration.
