This coming Thursday, Feb. 3, at 8 p.m., Mac Gleason, head bartender at The Wayland in the East Village, will host a virtual 60-minute class in the art and history of cocktail shaking and conduct a Q & A with participants. Three different types of shakes — Tommy’s Margarita, Fizz, and Mule — will be demonstrated along with guided live instruction in the preparation of three different cocktails. Most of the tools needed are standard household equipment. A cocktail shaker is recommended but not required.

A Zoom link and list of ingredients will be sent out in advance to subscribers.

This event will be sponsored by the New York State Council on Leadership & Student Activities in cooperation with Special Olympics. A donation of $35 per household/screen is suggested.
