What to do and see in West Side, Illinois (IL): The Best Classes & Workshops

September 18, 2021 Trinity Boughner

The windy city is a cornucopia of modern art, fine dining, cutting edge comedy, and die-hard sports fans. Snap a photo of your reflection in the silver Cloud Gate sculpture at Millennium Park before heading to Grant Park to get hit with the refreshing spray of Buckingham Fountain. There are dozens of museums and theater companies in Chicago, so a cultural experience is never hard to find. You’re sure to laugh your head off at the Second City Theater, the professional launch pad of many famous comedians.

HOLLOW LEG hosts interactive Chicago cocktail making classes for public, private, and corporate events. At our cocktail classes, we are dedicated to instilling you with the know-how and confidence to make great alcoholic drinks using use a hands-on approach, all while underscoring the importance of the art + science behind what you’re drinking. Don't or can't drink alcohol? We believe in "Democratic Drinking," and also teach the science behind no-proof cocktails, too, either as a stand alone class or along with a regular class! Everyone in your party will be able to indulge and learn! You'll walk away from our mixology classes with Julia Child-like conviction, feeling inspired, energized, and ready to create!

I took a public mixology class from HOLLOW LEG and it was fun and educational - Devin really knows her stuff. She was also super funny and had a BIG personality, so everyone was laughing from the get-go. This is NOT your normal cocktail class (thankfully!): She teaches a lot about the science of mixology and how we perceive taste, and even though I consider myself a cocktail buff, it was a lot of things I had never heard of before. We made three cocktails in class that were customized to each person’s palate, and I was super proud that each of my cocktails was better than the last. The class had a lot of couples and groups of friends, and she even hosts bachelorette parties and bachelor parties, as well as corporate and private events. If you’re looking for an amazing time and want to learn something, I can’t recommend this cocktail class enough!
