Wednesday | January 21st | 6:30pm-8:00pm | $35 | Ray's Event Room Mequon
There’s no wrong season for an Old Fashioned in Wisconsin—but there’s something special about mixing one as the weather turns, evenings stretch out, and comforting flavors return. Join Ray’s own Old Fashioned Officiant, Scott Smits, for an immersive class celebrating the cocktail that helped define drinking culture across the Midwest.
Together, through four cocktails, you’ll explore the history of the Old Fashioned, the building blocks of its enduring formula, and the many ways bartenders have adapted it over time. Your ticket includes a curated lineup of Old Fashioned–style cocktails—each highlighting a different technique, spirit choice, or regional tradition.
Whether you’re a brandy loyalist, a bourbon devotee, or simply Old Fashioned-curious, this workshop offers a spirited, hands-on look at a true Wisconsin icon.
