FAVORITE COCKTAIL: Jungle Bird
"My mind was blown by every aspect of the workshop..."
"The opportunity to actually mix the cocktails ourselves made the workshop even more fun!"
"I loved learning about non-alcoholic beverages and how they can be used to make lower-ABV cocktails."
lower the alcohol, NOT THE VIBE
What started as a hands-on workshop is growing into something much bigger—a welcoming, ongoing community for people who want to play with alcohol on their own terms. And we already feel like you’re a huge part of it.
We’re creating a space (both IRL and online) where you can learn, experiment, connect, and feel completely at home—no matter where you fall on the booze spectrum.
