Have you ever wondered why the handle of a bartender’s spoon is spiraled? Or what exactly is the perfect ratio for simple syrup? This Drink Up Month, we found our readers the ideal source. Enter: Spirited Lexington.
We’re talkin’ whiskey business
Spirited Lexington takes the complication out of cocktail crafting, providing every ingredient + tool you need to make your own creation.
When signing up for one of Spirited’s many classes, you’ll see countless options so you can have a carefully curated experience based on your preferences. We love that these events can be used for a variety of celebrations, such as bachelor + bachelorette parties, team-building activities, and date nights.
Cocktail o’clock
If you’re feeling intimidated, let us concoct a picture of what to expect so you don’t feel muddled when you walk into 249 E. Main St.
You’ll be greeted by Spirited Lexington’s well-versed + warm bartender Anthony Way, whose experience and passion for spirits come from his time on the West Coast and other areas of the world. Think of him as your spirits guide for ~ two hours (no ghosts included).
Stations come with all the ingredients and tools needed for your class, followed by simple step-by-step guidance that will have you thinking, “Yes, shaken not stirred, duh.”
