Your Host
Brian Van Flandern.
Brian is the only mixologist ever tied to a three-Michelin-star distinction — earned for the cocktail program he created to open Thomas Keller's Per Se. That kind of recognition almost always goes to chefs and restaurants; he's the rare exception who earned it from behind the bar.
Named America's Top Mixologist by Food Network, his cocktails have been served in more than 40 countries. He's the one who curated the program behind our bar — and for one night, he's behind it with you.
- Opened the bar program at Thomas Keller's three-Michelin-star Per Se
- Food Network's "America's Top Mixologist"
- Featured on Bar Rescue, Barefoot Contessa, and Property Brothers
- Cocktail programs built for restaurants, hotels, and resorts worldwide
- Curated the craft cocktail program at Twisted Pin
The Experience
Not a class. A jam session.
Spend the evening learning the art and science of a balanced cocktail from the mixologist who curated our bar program — then put it to work. You'll build an original drink of your own, in teams, from a spread of premium spirits, fresh juice, herbs, bitters, and garnishes, with our team pouring alongside you the whole way.
Then the friendly part gets competitive: your creations go in front of Brian to be judged on the night. Everyone walks out having made something they didn't know they could.
- Hands-on instruction from America's Top Mixologist
- Build your own signature cocktail in a team competition
- Premium spirits, fresh juices, herbs, bitters, and garnishes
- A curated charcuterie grazing board out all evening
- Your creations judged by Brian himself
Twenty people get to say they were there.
Once the seats are gone, they're gone — this one doesn't come around often. Grab yours before it sells out.
