To celebrate the spirit of Halloween, we’re throwing it back to when Besa Gordon attended Couture Cocktails' Halloween-themed cocktail class in 2023. This seasonal class was a part of owner Ashaunti Martin’s holiday-themed cocktail series where she taught participants how to create an exciting array of delicious drinks. 

Martin started with the tropical mocktail, a process that began with lemon juice and orgeat, followed by a dirty pour technique where all ingredients, including the ice, are directly poured into the glass. She added a butterfly pea flower tea float, which transforms from blue to purple when mixed with citrus to create a visual wow factor perfectly fit with the Halloween theme. On top of the mocktail, Martin featured a blackberry sour presented with dry ice. 

Many class attendees expressed the joy of learning new recipes and meeting people in Martin’s spooky holiday atmosphere. Gordon praised Martin’s skill as a bartender and teacher while basking in the lively Halloween vibes Couture Cocktails created.
