Just 3 days away! SOURCES Where Cocktail Creativity Begins - Sources is a discussion-driven class centered on where cocktail bartenders draw their creative inspiration—and how those influences move from idea to glass. Rather than focusing on technique or recipes, the class explores the creative process: the role of art, music, culture, memory, and lived experience in shaping how and why we create behind the bar.The session is designed to be conversational and reflective, with instructors acting as facilitators rather than presenters. The goal is to create space for shared insight and honest dialogue around creativity, influence, and intention. Hosted By Derik Cortez, Sojourn Trading CoGuest Speakers Colton Fox, Sojourn Trading Co. Bar Manager Lauren Beckman, Mixtli Cloud, Beverage DirectorMichael Rogers, Richter Tavern Beverage Director.
