Get your tickets now to avoid the FOMO (early bird pricing ends Oct. 15)! Here’s what we have in store.
10 Cocktails Mixed by Raleigh Magazine’s Best Bartender Nominees
Our cast of Best Bartender nominees—the best of the best mixologists in the city!—were each tasked with mixing up riffs on classics (think old-fashioned, Negroni, martini) in tandem with a top-shelf liquor brand. You’ll get to taste your way through all 10 of them throughout the night—plus enjoy special cocktail demonstrations at the bar. Um, cheers to that! P.S. There will also be a wine, beer and bubbles bar + full mocktail bar.
Music and Food Served All Night Long
When the munchies hit (which they likely will), we’ve got you covered with a plethora of delicious grub. … NTM water to keep you hydrated throughout the evening. And providing the background jams for the entirety of the event will be live entertainment—so get ready to get down with your bad selves!
Glam and Glow Experience to Keep You Looking Your Best by Woodhouse Spa North Hills
Need to freshen up midevent? Woodhouse Spa has you covered with a glam setup of travel-size makeup products, mirrors, Champagne (!) and more. Glow on, gals!
A Spirited Swag Bag Complete With a Cocktail Classic Book
Since you can’t order these riffs at each of the nom’s bars—and will definitely be left craving more—we’ve created a cocktail book with photos and recipes of all the ’tails for every guest to take home. … And it’s so beautiful you’ll want to drink it all up. Stay tuned for other great goodies in our take-home swag bags as well!
Rideshare Code
We cannot stress this enough: Don’t drink and drive! Each group of ticket holders will get a rideshare code to take them to and from The Exchange on the day of the event only. This is your excuse to safely enjoy yourself at The Cocktail Classic!
Tickets Benefit Ben’s Friends and the RDU Chapter of the U.S. Bartenders’ Guild
To top off the entire Cocktail Classic event, ticket sales benefit both Raleigh-Durham USBG and Ben’s Friends, a support group for members of the food and beverage industry suffering from abuse or addiction. Drinking for a good cause? Don’t mind if we do!
