YOU’RE THE BARTENDER FOR THE NIGHT!🍹

This isn’t your typical cocktail class, you’ll be the one doing the shaking, mixing and sipping!

Join us at Grovestone for a seriously fun, hands on cocktail experience with Lavell Miller, where everything you need will be set up right at your table and you’ll personally make and enjoy THREE different cocktails featuring Sango 100% Agave Spirit.

Lavell will guide you step-by-step as you shake, mix and build each cocktail yourself, teaching you professional techniques, flavor balancing and a few tricks of the trade along the way.

YOU’LL MAKE & ENJOY THREE COCKTAILS

CLASSIC MARGARITA - Master one of the world’s most iconic agave cocktails while learning how to create the perfect balance of spirit, citrus and sweetness.

TOMMY’S MARGARITA - Discover this modern Margarita classic and learn how a few simple ingredients can completely change the personality of a drink.

PALOMA - Bright, refreshing and grapefruit-forward, the Paloma showcases an entirely different side of agave.

And while you’re mixing, you’ll discover the fascinating world of agave—including how it’s grown and produced and the story behind African agave and Sango.

You’ll also experience two different expressions— Sango Blanco and Sango Reposado—while learning how each brings its own character to the glass.

With more than 15 years of experience in the service and hospitality industry, Lavell has worked across nightlife bars, culturally inspired establishments and prestigious hotel bars. Today, he serves as Regional Director for the first African-imported spirits portfolio in the United States, introducing unique spirits, flavors and cultural stories to the American market.
