MORE THAN A COCKTAIL CLASS
Learn the Why Behind the Drink
My mixology experiences are designed to go beyond simply following a recipe. We'll explore ingredients, techniques and the little details that can transform a good cocktail into a great one.
Whether you're completely new to cocktails or already the designated bartender of your friend group, the experience is approachable, interactive and tailored to the people around the table.

YOUR MIXOLOGIST
I'm Sushmita Malakar, an Austin mixologist and WSET Level 2 Spirits professional with years of hands-on beverage and hospitality experience.
I've developed cocktails, trained bartenders, worked with beverage brands and spent a lot of time learning why drinks work. My favorite part is translating that knowledge into something people can actually use, without turning cocktail hour into a lecture.
"Because you should leave knowing more than when you arrived, while still having a really good time."
Better Drinks. Better Stories.
