Craft Cocktails Featuring Orgeat (a syrup made with nuts!)
  1. August 19, 2021 6:00 pm

A cocktail class with a focus on nuts? Count me in!

Orgeat is a syrup made with nuts; Think marzipan (almond paste) made into a syrup. In class, we will flavor and sweeten nut milk with fresh produce and sugar. Next, we will use the flavored orgeat syrups to make two cocktails.

A little about me

Some call me a cocktail evangelist

I call me a human who is passionate about learning, educating and throwing a darn good party. Since 2017, I've taught cocktail history and disciplines to bar staffs and curious people virtually and in-person. I've crafted cocktail menus for bars and conducted cocktail parties for private in-home events, weddings and office happy hours. Recently, I was the bar manager at San Francisco’s Bon Voyage!, and previously worked at Maialino, Barbuto and Dante at Genuine in New York City.

What people are saying about my events.

Our team thoroughly enjoyed your class! We are grateful for your time and expertise and providing us with a fun way to connect in these crazy times.

— Larissa - Exabeem, October 2020

OMG!! YOU are incredible!

You are so knowledgeable and charismatic.  I loved it when the person in the chat said they were lost and you addressed them immediately and asked how you could help.  Who does that??

— Lisa - Canine Companions for Independence, August 2020

I have received several notes of gratitude from family members since our cocktail party, everyone thought you were very knowledgeable and entertaining.  Your background as a historian made the class even more interesting.  I was so pleased to spend time with family in a safe way…

— Lisa - Family get together, December 2020

What a surprisingly fun time for a “virtual” event! Drinks were great and Max and I really enjoyed learning your tips and tricks. Favorite surprise: hearing your insights! It’s like we got to sit and talk with THE bartender In spite of the pandemic!

— Shelly - Marymount School, October 2020

Thank you so much for the wonderful class last evening. You were a huge hit with our 1st grade families!

You have such a wonderful presence and style which allowed our families to bond, something that’s been extra challenging lately – so thank you for helping create such a warm and open environment.

— Cynthia - Town School For Boys, September 2020

{Rebecca} Thank you so much for doing such an amazing job at our event last night. I love your engaging style and your ability to roll with EVERYTHING… Everyone who attended last night saw for themselves how knowledgable you are and how fun the cocktail making can be.

— Jane - Canine Companions for Independence, August 2020

[Rebecca] You are just so fun and knowledgeable! The cocktails were DELICIOUS. Lots of us, including myself, made the drinks with our kids for them to enjoy the mocktail version. I appreciate how your passion exudes from you. 

 

— Cherie - Bank of America, July 2021

Thank you!! We had a blast and have received such great feedback across all 3 classes. Thank you for your creativity and partnership.

— Leslie - TPG, October 2020

Rebecca that was so great!  You have no idea how meaningful that was — my family is having a rough week, and this was a great way to break it up.

Love all of your knowledge mixed in with your easy style.

— Heather - Birthday, December 2020

That was great! You were amazing. I loved your energy and creativity. The music was a really nice addition. So thank you so much.
