Build two Halloween showpieces, including one that changes colour in the glass. Leave with a shopping list and a party plan for your spookiest gathering yet.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat this class is\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Cocktail Lab is a seasonal workshop series from Fine Art Bartending. Each cocktail-making class is 90-minutes. You'll learn one advanced technique from our professional bartending curriculum, and two finished drinks you build and drink yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis edition is our most theatrical of the year. The technique of the night is layering and colours, the tricks that make a whole room turn and look. You'll learn why some ingredients sink and others float, and how professionals use density to build a drink in visible layers. You'll also learn the colour-change chemistry of butterfly pea flower, which shifts a drink from violet to magenta in front of your guests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery drink is poured zero-proof in class. Real spirit profiles, real technique, all the craft of the cocktail with none of the morning after. Every recipe also works both ways. Your take-home cards include the zero-proof build you made in class and the full-proof version for your home bar. Costumes enthusiastically encouraged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe two cocktails on the menu\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Bloody Sunrise\u003c\/strong\u003e · a Tequila Sunrise turned sinister, layer by layer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Dark Magic Mojito\u003c\/strong\u003e · a colour-shifting potion that transforms in the glass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat you'll learn\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to layer a cocktail: sugar density, pour order, and the back-of-the-spoon float.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour-change chemistry: why butterfly pea tea shifts from violet to magenta with citrus.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHalloween garnish theatre, from a convincing \"blood\" drip to edible glitter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to jigger, shake, stir, and strain the way professionals are taught.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Halloween theme, a ready-made seasonal shopping list for hosting a cocktail party at home.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat to expect\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e6:00\u003c\/strong\u003e · Arrive, welcome sip, and station intro\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e6:10\u003c\/strong\u003e · The technique: layering, density, and colour, with a live demo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e6:25\u003c\/strong\u003e · Build your first cocktail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e6:50\u003c\/strong\u003e · Build your second cocktail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e7:10\u003c\/strong\u003e · Turn it into a party: hosting tips, seasonal shopping list, and the instructor's recommendations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e7:25\u003c\/strong\u003e · Wrap-up, recipe cards (both versions), and photos\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho this is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnyone.
