    This was my second class with Erin and it was awesome! She’s so knowledgeable and fun and is always so open with suggesting substitutions if we don’t have one of the ingredients. I highly recommend taking any and all of her classes!!!

    We had a fun time, enjoyed all three drinks we made, and are excited to make the egg nog recipe that was an added bonus! It was a fun date night with our friends across the states.

    I loved this class! Erin was very knowledgeable. She explained a little history behind each drink, showed us how to make the drinks, answered our questions and sent us a follow up email with all the recipes (with a bonus drink recipe too). The drinks were all delicious. I highly recommend this class whether your a beginner (like me) or have been mixing drinks a long time. It was a fun way to spend a Saturday night.

    I loved this class. The instructor is organized and fun. I’ll be signing up for other classes she’s teaching. Learned a new (and better) way to make margaritas. I was never a bourbon drinker but her drinks might change my mind. Just wish I was better at Zoom so I could have been a more active participant.

    Erin is a fantastic cocktail teacher and adds a lot of personal story and historic background to drinks that otherwise seem "simple." She makes sure there aren't any tough-to-find ingredients in the cocktails, making it accessible to the layman, and works with attendees regardless of what equipment and technical background they may have. Also enjoyed her breadth of knowledge on: (1) Variations that you could make to "spice up" the cocktails she taught, and explore different flavors (e.g., she taught us a great method for infusing liquor); (2) She has awesome background on bourbon and can give good guidance on which bourbons to use for the Old Fashioned, but also bourbons you might enjoy in daily life. Great experience and liked that we all became "temporary friends" when she had us introduce ourselves and talk about our cocktail backgrounds/favorite drinks!

    What a wonderful class! Fun, great pace, and excellent information. The Whiskey Sour recipe alone made it worth it. Looking forward to taking her 201 course.

    My husband and I took Erin’s class and had a really great time! Erin was fun and informative, able to answer any question, and was engaging with all the attendees. I have some experience bar tending, my husband has none, and we both were able to follow along with Erin. This was a really fun remote date night for us, the drinks were delicious, and we would love to take another class from Erin in the future!

    Erin was fun and informative. My wife and I enjoyed a perfect date night of making cocktails together and learning these classic recipes with Erin's twist. My wife and I agree that her Old Fashioned is much better than anything we've been getting in many bars, even those that bill themselves as bourbon bars. Even better, Erin's instructions and helpful cocktail cards have allowed us to consistently replicate her great drinks. I would highly recommend that anyone who would like to expand their bar or hosting game take Erin's class. With what I learned, I feel like I'm cameoing with Tom Cruise in Cocktail every time I pick up my shaker now.

    Erin is top class. I needed this class for those inside tips and tricks that top bartenders use to elevate my cocktails to greatness. I could never watch enough videos, read recipes or talk to bartenders to get there. Erin showed us the way. The class was engaging and Erin has great energy along with all that knowledge.

    I am a novice (to say the least!!) at “Mixology” which is why it was so apropos for me to take this class with Erin. Her class was simply stated, wonderful!! I had all the tools required, as well as the other ingredients recommended by the course instructors, so I awaited Erin’s program, with an healthy anticipation. We “met” online, first, with introductions, and then, off we went!! The lesson was fantastic!! I enjoyed the conversational approach Erin used in instructing us in the best ways of mixology, and, especially, in fashioning the finished products; an Old Fashion, a Whiskey Sour, and a Margarita...all well crafted (by me!!) and delicious!! I very much enjoyed Erin’s lesson, and, I can’t wait to her next courses!! A great way to enjoy “Mixology”!!
