Saturday January 7th 2012 is the next class and it features RUM & CACHACA! Learn about the history of RUM & CACHACA, how they are made, and how to mix with it!
Saturday January 14 features local spirit Clique Vodka and its all about INFUSIONS!! Whats an infusion? Well About.com says: Infusing spirits with flavor is a great way to experiment with your own personal tastes. The basic concept is to marry a variety of choice flavors into a base liquor to create a custom-flavored spirit. Vodka is the most common base spirit used and the other light spirits (gin, sake, light rum) can also be used for almost any flavor. Infusing darker spirits is a little touchier but it will work if you choose the right complimentary flavor to the liquor like an apricot or cherry brandy.
So now that you know the basics of the class now I bet you want to know how to WIN right? Simple to enter. You must take or have a photo of yourself with a bottle (**bonus points if its Clique Vodka bottle) and post it on the Faded Industry Facebook Page along with the phrase “Let’s make some drinks!” and you are entered. 1 winner will be picked on Friday January 13th and that person along with a friend wins free tuition for these classes! That gets you 6 classes of your choice from the current class schedule. You will graduate and get a diploma too! Retail value of this prize is $540 so go get posting those bottle pics ya jagg off!!
