Our VIRTUAL EXPERIENCES bring the bar to people who are not in the same room — hosted live, anywhere in the country.
A hosted virtual session runs 60 to 90 minutes: a live mixologist, a drink built for your group, and a shopping list sent ahead so everyone can follow along. Built for remote teams, national chapters, alumni groups and hybrid events.
Also available self-paced: step-by-step videos, recipe cards, an e-book, workbooks and digital downloads.
