Vinny & The Bottles @ WB’s

There is always something fun going on at Ogden’s WB’s Eatery at The Monarch, whether it’s a sassy show like Wigs and Brunch, a cooking class, or just a great meal and libations. 

On Monday, January 18th, WB’s Eatery invites guests to a virtual cocktail-making session on Chibo with Vinny & The Bottles. According to the good folks at WB’s, “Vinny, our lead mixologist, will be teaching viewers how to make cocktails. He will be making alcoholic and non-alcoholic versions and viewers will have the opportunity to purchase our cocktail box (which includes Seedlip, a non-alcoholic distilled spirit) and ingredients to make the cocktails. As a special bonus, he will share tips and tricks to plating with WB’s Kickback Box!” Attendees will also learn the secret to making a German Chocolate Cake Shot. 

The cocktail class begins at 5:30 p.m. MST and costs $12.99. Click here for more information and to purchase
