A cocktail just tastes better when you’ve mixed, shaken, or stirred it yourself. This summer, you can learn how to craft all kinds of drinks at mixology classes around the city. From structured, immersive experiences to creating drinks at some of the most upscale restaurants in the city, these are the best cocktail classes in Dallas.
