Classic Cocktails 101
🍋 Classic Cocktails 101 🍸
Want to level up your hosting skills or just enjoy a delicious hand-crafted drink after a long day? Join us for a relaxed, hands-on workshop teaching you all about one of the most popular and versatile categories of cocktails: Sours.
Led by Sophia of the boutique bartending service, Fia Hospitality, we'll start by covering the fundamentals—how to measure with a jigger, shake with bar tins, and strain like a pro. Then, she'll dive into making the perfect sour mix and teach us how to balance flavors.
You’ll make (and sip on!) 3 classic sours: a gimlet, a daiquiri, and a margarita. To wrap it up, you’ll get a chance to create your own cocktail using everything you’ve learned.
Not drinking alcohol? No worries—we’ve got non-alcoholic liquor options, just let us know when you register, and we’ll swap out the alcohol for the non-alcohol for you to enjoy just the same!
In addition to the workshop, you’ll take home your own 4-piece Boston cocktail shaker kit so you can keep the fun going well after the workshop, as you make new concoctions from your own home.
We'll be perched up on a balcony looking out to Los Angeles, mixing, shaking, and having some fun to kick off the weekend. Come ready to learn something new and enjoy some tasty drinks!

Meet Sophia: Sophia (or Fia for short) has always had a penchant for creating potions. She spent her days as a child mixing elixirs full of twigs, juniper berries, dirt...and whatever she could snag from her mother's spice cabinet. After spending over a decade managing restaurants and cafes she started her bartending brand, Fia Hospitality, to root back into her creative side and have an opportunity to mix up (much tastier) potions for clientele throughout Southern California. Since the brand's inception Fia has curated cocktail menus for high profile clients like Bella Hadid, Saie Beauty, and ILIA.
