On top of being classic speakeasy-style experts, we specilize in employing various gastronomic techniques to create avant-garde custom libations. The sky is the limit when combining elements like liquid nitrogen, nitrous, fire, smoke, and emulsifiers with special tools like centrifuges, rotovapors, blowtorches, sous vide, infusers, foams, airs, and gels. The list keeps on going. Whether the resulting cocktail features a colorful flavored block of ice, clarified fresh juice or a good ol' fashioned flambé, we feel that the real attraction is the stylish and charming bartender behind the curtain that like some the world's best disc jockeys, knows how to tend and shape the energy of the room. All of our bartenders are hand-picked, personable and attractive professionals from some of the best bars in the world.
Since every event is unique in its own way, we in like manner tailor our bartending services accordingly.

Most of our cocktail classes are in Los Angeles, but we love flying as well.
