  • "I booked Craig for a girls' night poolside cocktail class at my home. He designed three perfectly balanced cocktails for the evening. The set up was beautiful and all ingredients were fresh and delicious. Craig's passion for cocktails is obvious and he shines in educating and sharing that passion with others. You are guaranteed to have a good time learning and come away with 3 great cocktail recipes when you book a class with Craig."

  • "I consider myself a casual drinker, ordering and enjoying beers or simple cocktails like a Gin & Tonic, but Sidecar Beverage Co.'s cocktail classes have opened my eyes (and taste buds) to a new world of cocktails that I can easily shake up. Craig is engaging and knowledgeable, sharing his expertise about how these cocktails came to be and why they are so incredibly delicious. I have left each class buzzing with new information, excited to shake and share with friends."
