Okay, so I'm not sitting at a bar but,
I'M REGISTERED! for two mixology classes...one online and another "in Austin" course.
For the online, I am awaiting a February first due date for the Pernod sponsored Bar Smarts Wired program. I hear it's difficult and I am super excited... This is gonna be great!
And the "in Austin" is going to be a 12 week course offered by the Tipsy Texan, sponsored by Twin Liquors. This will have us focusing on a different spirit each week-going thru the history of the distillation to creation of classic and new cocktails. It will be a fun communal experience to compliment my solo "online" studies.
To celebrate "going back to school" I had to throw a ladies night. Well, I also have this KXAN spot on 2/13 for which I need to prepare 3 Valentines Day Cocktails. This time there were 5 of us ladies and let's just say by the end of the night I had to "sleep it off"...ouch!
St. Germain is my favorite liqueur…” I am hearing this out and about town. It’s the new hot thing; however it’s not so new. I first heard about the liqueur about a year and a half ago from David Allen, the “Tipsy Texan,” who is incidentally teaching the mixology class “Tipsy Tech” in which I am currently enrolled.
