Chicago Mixology Classes

There’s nothing like a good mixed drink when you’re out celebrating and partying on the weekends in the city.

However, when you think about all the money you end up spending on drinks weekend after weekend, it adds up.

What if you were able to both hang out with your friends on the weekend and learn how to make your own drinks? (Which will be much cheaper for you in the long run.)
