Quintessential Nevada: A History of the Silver State Told Through Cocktails

Hosted at Ferino Distillery, this hands-on Cocktail School uses the glass as a lens to examine the Silver State. Each session moves through distinct cultural markers—ranging from the state's rugged boomtown beginnings and Basque heritage to the tension of the Atomic era and the gloss of Rat Pack nightlife. Participants move beyond mere storytelling to craft multiple cocktails while picking up foundational techniques designed for home use. The experience is an attempt to connect historical moments directly to the palate, focusing on the specific beverages that surfaced during each chapter of the region's development.
