Powered by Imagine Exhibitions

The Cabinet of Curiosities undeniably lives up to its name, its walls lined with shelves that bear an array of odd and intriguing trinkets. The swanky bar and lounge, located in the Horseshoe Las Vegas, is one of several immersive attractions on the Las Vegas Strip curated by Imagine Exhibitions. It offers patrons a unique experience marked by luxe lighting and crafted cocktails. Perhaps the most special offering on the Cabinet of Curiosities’ menu is its Mixology Masterclass. Here’s just a glimpse of what patrons can expect from this hands-on offering.

What is Mixology Masterclass?

This regular event connects guests with bartenders who teach them how to craft and curate premium cocktails. For $100, attendees have the opportunity to create three cocktails, receive a souvenir apron and recipe card, and mingle with like-minded individuals also interested in learning about mixology. Whether you’re a beginner or aspiring mixologist, the hands-on and fun-filled Mixology Masterclass will expand your skills. 

Your experience is split into three phases:

1. History lessons

According to the Cocktail Society, cocktails have been around since at least the 19th century, but the term “cocktail” can be traced back to the year 1798. Before you can move forward on your mixology journey, you’ll have to take a look back in time. One of the Cabinet of Curiosities’ many mixologists will start your class by teaching you the rich history of the art, as well as the tools, techniques and terminology behind it.

2. Creating cocktails

Once you learn about mixology’s history, it’s time to apply it. Learn how to blend spirits, balance flavors, and craft intricate cocktails with your instructor. You’ll master the art of garnishing and presentation to enhance the appeal. Sip and savor once you’re done.

3. Start from scratch

Armed with your education and experience, you’ll be ready to do things your way. Using premium ingredients, including fresh fruits, herbs and syrups, you’ll design your own specialty cocktail and bring it to life. With the continued guidance of an instructor, you can put a personal spin on your favorite cocktail or imagine something completely original. You’re sure to walk away with a bespoke recipe.
