Scott Beattie is the bar manager of Healdsburg’s Spoonbar and author of Artisanal Cocktails (Ten Speed Press, 2008). Jack Mitchell is co-owner of Santa Rosa's Jack and Tony's Whiskey Bar, which has over 240 whiskies available on their menu.  

This class is part of a six-part series taught by Scott Beattie.  All classes include a short “Cocktails 101” demo that will include proper shaking and stirring techniques (and the reasons why you would do either), precise measurement, ice, glassware selection, and several other helpful tips that will insure better home bartending.  In addition to hearing from  the  guest speaker, all attendees will also receive excellent printed information about additional  spirits. Classes sizes are small,  limited to 40 students, and are mostly DIY.  Get ready for lots of hands-on experience with the shakers and strainers!  Time permitting, Scott will present  and sign copies of his book “Artisanal Cocktails, ” available for $28,  (cash/check only). All classes are held on Saturdays and cost $50.
