Cocktail Class: Amaro Cocktails from Classic to Contemporary

CIA at Copia’s Beverage Director Traci Dutton has assembled a bright, crisp, and punchy selection of beverage experiences to bring out the inner mixologist in all of us. A dash of demonstration, a splash of technique, and a full glass of fun all evening.

Amaro: How is it that something so darned bitter can be so mellow and magnanimous? Can it be that what we use to settle our overstuffed tum-tums and overworked minds can also give us a little something to crush on? In this class we’ll begin to piece together a guidebook to the boggling array of Italian, European, and now even New World versions of this no-two-are-the-same herbal “digestivo” that has become the new sweetheart of the spirit and mixology world.

We’ll experiment with tried-and-true drink recipes and try on a few new styles to expand upon the usefulness of this bittersweet cocktail pantry staple for when you’re feeling crafty, not queasy.
