Ever wonder how the pros balance a complex gin or make a whiskey sour that isn't cloyingly sweet? On Tuesday, April 1, we’re turning the lounge at Wolverine Pickleball into a high-end craft cocktail lab.
This isn't a "watch and learn" demo—it’s a hands-on, high-energy workshop where you are the bartender.
What’s on the Menu?
We are diving deep into the craft with Water Tower Distilling Co., Ypsilanti’s premier woman-owned distillery. You’ll be working with their award-winning, micro-batched spirits—from their signature Rosie Gin (a floral nod to history) to their smooth, 7-times distilled Vodka.
In this 90-minute masterclass, you will:

• Build 6 Distinct Cocktails: Learn the distinct "rhythm" of shaking vs. stirring as you craft a full flight of drinks, including upcoming seasonal exclusives.
• Master Flavor Balancing: Discover the "Golden Ratio" of sweet, sour, and spirit so you can stop guessing and start creating.
• Garnish Like a Pro: Go beyond the basic lime wedge with professional techniques that make your drinks Instagram-ready.
• Take Home the "Cheat Sheet": Every attendee receives a custom recipe card set to recreate the magic at your next home happy hour.

Why Attend?

• Off-the-Court Connection: It’s the perfect way to bond with your pickleball crew or meet new people in a relaxed, screen-free environment.
• Expert Instruction: Led by Water Tower’s Tasting Room Manager, you’ll get insider stories about Michigan’s distilling heritage while you sip.
• The Perfect "Social Hour": Enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of Wolverine’s lounge, complete with great music and a community vibe that beats a crowded bar any night of the week.
