Happy Hour Sip & Nibble – The Curious Cocktailer

Grab your gin (or vodka if you prefer) and travel with Hipcooks to the exotic lands of your spice drawer! We’ll use what we find to shake up an out-of-the-ordinary, unexpectedly delicious cocktail. In our virtual class, Happy Hour Sip & Nibble – The Curious Cocktailer, we pair this cocktail with a Hipcooks favorite: Spicy & Salty Candied Nuts.  They’re awesome for snacking, sprinkling on salads, and enjoying while you sip.
