Craft Lake City and Finca present the return of Craft Lake City's Craft Cocktail Workshop series. Join us and Vida Tequila at Finca on Wednesday, Feb. 22, from 6 to 8 p.m. for an evening of spirited tastings and cocktail education.
Craft Lake City's craft cocktail workshops highlight local liquor companies in Utah and offer the opportunity to learn from artisanal spirit enthusiasts. The Feb. 22cocktail workshop will feature a tequila education and tasting by Vida Tequila Spirit Expert
Amy Brownstein. Workshop participants will learn how
Vida Tequila processes the humble agave plant into a complex and full-bodied tequila.
Finca will provide "pintxos" (small bites), and Bar Manager Natalie Hamilton will give a hands-on cocktail recipe demonstration.
"We had so much fun teaching this workshop in 2016," says Brownstein. "We love working with Natalie and Finca and can't wait to have people try our tequila at this year's first craft cocktail workshop!"

About Vida Tequila: VIDA TEQUILA was founded in 2003 by John and Lisa Barlow. Their tequila is produced in Arandas, Mexico using only traditional methods from the planting of the Tequilana Weber Blue Agave to bottling. The process for making VIDA TEQUILA is similar to that of champagne and wine. VIDA TEQUILA is committed to making the purest tequila. Only the finest parts of the agave plants are used, and the juice is distilled twice before bottling and aging. VIDA TEQUILA's portfolio includes a Blanco (bottled after distillation), Reposado (aged six months in American White Oak barrels), and Añejo (aged 24 months in French Oak barrels). The most discerning critics - Paul Pacult of
Spirits Journal, Kara Newman of
Wine Enthusiast, and Meredith May of
Tasting Panel - give VIDA TEQUILA rating scores ranging from 94-97. Furthermore,
Wine Enthusiast placed VIDA TEQUILA in their Top 50 Spirits, and VIDA TEQUILA won the prestigious Agave Challenge.
