Whether you’re shaking up a new cocktail recipe or sipping your way through a wine or tequila tasting, these interactive adventures are perfect for date nights, group outings, or just trying something new.
Here are a few spots where you can do more than just order a drink, you can experience it:
Group Mixology Class at Vitruvian Park Tavern
This one-of-a-kind, experiential mixology class gets you behind the bar with Tavern owner Craig Vaught, where you’ll try your hand at crafting four specialty cocktails. Your group will learn tricks of the trade along with the tools you need to build the perfect home bar setup. You’ll enjoy light bites with your creations and head home with recipe cards to impress your guests at your next gathering. Classes are offered Saturday afternoons for groups of four or more, and reservations are required. Cost is $35 per person. Call 214-484-5551 or book online to reserve your spot.
For a flavorful night out with a spirited twist, don’t miss Cantina Laredo’s exclusive Tequila Dinners. These limited-seating events feature four-course meals expertly paired with tequila cocktails, often spotlighting premium brands like Herradura. Each dinner begins with a cocktail reception, followed by a curated tasting menu that explores the vibrant notes of agave spirits alongside bold Mexican flavors. Tickets typically start around $59.99 per person, and reservations are required.
