You open the door to a living room that smells faintly of citrus and mint; a portable bar gleams on a folding table and the bartender greets you like an old friend. The class begins at your Airbnb or house in Charleston—short on pretense and long on technique—where shakers click and conversations warm as quickly as the glasses.
Charleston's streets and waterfront have shaped a distinctive culinary scene that spills into its beverages: West African, French, and Caribbean influences that inform bright syrups, herb-forward garnishes, and rum-forward recipes. The city sits on a low, marshy plain where tidal rivers carve saltwater into rice fields; that same salt-sweet edge shows up in local cocktails.
In this private, 2.5-hour hands-on session you'll pick three cocktails or mocktails from curated menus—Martinins, Spritzes, Classics, or Mocktails—while learning foundational skills: shaking, stirring, measuring, and simple syrup building. The host provides professional tools, fresh mixers, herbs, garnishes, recipe cards, and cleanup; you supply the alcohol and ice per a provided shopping list.
Expect light standing, small-group attention, and practical tips you can repeat at home: balancing sweet and sour, using herbs for aroma, and cleaning bar tools. The class suits anyone 21+ with curiosity more than experience. Plan for 2–8 participants depending on space, clear a surface for the bar, and set your phones for a group photo at the end.
Practicalities: bring your spirits and ice, allocate 2–2.5 hours, and cancel 24 hours ahead for a full refund. This is social, instructional, and built for good energy—perfect for private gatherings that want something lively and useful.

Choose local mixers when possible and recycle bottles; minimizing single-use plastics and composting citrus waste reduces event footprint.
