Mocktail Class

Stefani Bittner, the founder of the Homestead Design Collective will be teaching a one-day-only, Mocktail Class featuring fragrant florals, bitters, and shrubs.

Mocktails are a growing cultural trend. Whether venues like Lawai’s local micro-bar, Drift, are catering to Gen Zer’s choosing not to drink or the over 40’s who just can’t drink as they did in their 20s, it looks like mocktails are maturing beyond their Shirley Temple phase, into a more creative, refined era.  Craft bitters, fruity shrubs, and edible florals are finding their way into beautifully poured, booze-free bubbles. Bittner will be sharing her floral infusion wisdom, mad shaker skills, and signing her books. A limited number of Stefani’s three books will be available for purchase. The drink menu will be posted soon!

Light pupus will be served.
