We are thrilled to announce the next installment of our Cocktail Class series, introducing a special collaboration with Straightaway Cocktails!

Next month MWL will be releasing a bottled cocktail with Portland Based company Straightaway Cocktails. You may have seen their canned cocktails at your local grocery store, or their signature Oregon Old Fashioned on your most recent Alaskan Airlines flight. Known for making their own liqueurs, amari, vermouths, Straightaway was founded so more people could enjoy a world class cocktail with the same ease as opening a bottle of wine or a can of beer. 

To celebrate this special release, we invite guests to join us at the Library for a cocktail class lead by Straightaway Co-Founder Casey Richwine, MWL Bar Program Manager Cody Mulcahy, and MWL Spirit Curator & Education Manager Brett Adams.

This special cocktail release is inspired by the New Orleans classic cocktail the Vieux Carré (and is coming to a store near you). Guests will taste through each component of the Vieux Carré, followed by a step by step instruction to mix your very own. To close the evening, guests will be the first to try our limited release cocktail.

In addition, guests will also have the opportunity to purchase the bottled cocktail on site during the event! This event won’t be one to miss, we hope to see you there!
