With our Cocktails of the Unexpected.......
Kicking off the month with Cogent Marketing, we teamed up for an exclusive Uniqlo cocktail class at the beautiful Hotel Lilien. For this event, we crafted three unique cocktails inspired by Japanese spirits, capturing both tradition and a sleek modern vibe. It was a night to remember for influencers and VIPs, bringing Uniqlo’s brand to life through taste, style, and ambiance.

Artisan Mixers Tasting Bar
We've also been busy selling our three artisan mixers across the Hudson Valley, including at Adams Fairacre Farms, Sunflower Market, and Mother Earth’s. Recently, we set up a tasting bar at the Field + Supply Fall MRKT at Hutton Brickyards in Kingston, NY, surrounded by hundreds of local artists, makers, food trucks, and live music. Our booth featured our handcrafted mixers, made locally in our Mixology Lab in Stone Ridge, NY. These mixers were born during lockdown, inspired by a mission to help people elevate their at-home cocktail experience.
The standout favorite was our Black Cardamom + Star Anise mixer, with its smokiness and warming notes of camphor, it perfectly suited the crisp Autumn day. Its so versatile as it pairs well with many spirits, including Vodka or Whiskey, and does well elevating your average tea or coffee to a masala-esque libation. We have even poured it over oatmeal or on our pancakes.
Many guests picked it up as a holiday gift, agreeing it’s far more thoughtful than another bottle of wine. Plus, our mixers create lasting memories, lingering long after the party ends and offering a bold alternative to zero-sugar seltzers.
There’s something timeless about crafting drinks the old-fashioned way, it brings people together and sparks real conversation.
A Holiday Cocktail Class
As we say good bye to Fall, we're excited for the holidays and festive parties to begin. Thats why we have crafted a new holiday cocktails class called Sips of the Season. This hands-on holiday cocktail class celebrates seasonal flavors and local ingredients. Participants will learn to craft three unique cocktails inspired by Christmas flavors and ingredients like pine, clementine, cinnamon, and rosemary, capturing the festive spirit in every sip.
The Pine & Citrus Fizz is a refreshing, herbal cocktail with pine syrup, fresh clementine juice, and a hint of rosemary , whilst the cozy, sweet take on an Old Fashioned, featuring vanilla, orange zest, and a dash of winter spices.
We are all about empowering our clients and guests to open their mind, mouth and palate to new flavors and spices. During our classes, if we inspire someone to try a new herb, vegetable or spice then we have succeeded. We are also about sharing a few easy-to-hacks, so that anyone can master the art of shaking, stirring, and garnishing to make cocktails and drinks filled with love for their loved ones or friends.
We are not about creating complicated recipes, instead as Cocktail Architects, we design the drink for the ground up, architect the perfect balance of flavors, with cirrus, spirits and sugar. Our classes are about learning the basics, having dun and and providing you the tools to architect your experiences.
gaining the tools to experiment. You’ll leave with knowledge on how to balance flavors and pair cocktails with small bites.
