From Shaker to Wick

A creative, hands-on learning experience for adults 21+.

Discover the art of mixology and candle making in this guided instructional workshop. You'll learn how to construct a balanced craft cocktail through step-by-step teaching on flavor pairing, fresh ingredients, and professional techniques.

Guests may choose between:

• Traditional craft cocktail instruction, or

• A non-alcoholic spirit substitution, using zero-proof spirits for an alcohol-free mixology lesson.

After the mixology portion, you’ll shift into creating a custom scented candle using wax, fragrance oils, and candle-making tools provided in class.

This workshop focuses entirely on education, creativity, and hands-on learning, combining two artistic skills into one unique experience. After sipping your creation, you’ll move into candle making with Craftolog’y. Using gel wax, colors, fragrance oils, and decorative elements, you’ll design a custom Cocktail-inspired Candle - cute, aesthetic, and unique!

• How to balance sweetness, acidity, aromatics, and texture

• How to work with bar tools and fresh ingredients
