Two Hours · Three Cocktails

Here's how Sip History goes.

Two hours, three drinks and snacks, and the kind of stories your bartender usually keeps for tips. Nothing tricky — promise.

01Arrive & Taste

Settle in at the bar with a welcome cocktail. We'll walk through what makes a drink work before you build your own — so your palate's calibrated by the time you pick up a shaker.

02Insider Tips & Tricks

The pro moves your favorite bartender uses every shift. Shake versus stir. When to muddle. Why ice matters more than the spirit. Things you'll quietly steal for every dinner party from here on out.

03Nashville's Cocktail History

From bourbon and rye to the bootlegger gin that kept Printers Alley awake. The real, occasionally-unhinged story of Music City's drink — told the way it actually went down.

04Shake Up Your Own

Get behind the bar. Build three drinks yourself using everything you just learned. Recipes go home in your phone for the next time you're hosting.

What's the cancellation policy?

How do I book a private event?
