Thank you for visiting The Elevated Cocktail!

We're Greg and Shelly, the duo behind this cocktail-making experience—and longtime enthusiasts of a perfectly crafted drink. For years, we've shared a love of cocktails—not just enjoying them, but diving into the craft of what makes a truly exceptional one.

It started as a casual hobby and gradually grew into a passion for understanding the subtle (and not-so-subtle) differences between a great cocktail and an unforgettable one—and, just as importantly, what makes one fall flat. Greg has spent years experimenting with classic recipes and modern variations, testing different spirits, exploring mixer pairings, and discovering how fresh ingredients and homemade syrups elevate a drink from ordinary to outstanding.

Along the way, we began sharing our creations at parties and gatherings, and something clicked: Our friends and family didn’t just enjoy the cocktails—they started requesting them. Their appreciation for Greg’s knowledge and our shared enthusiasm inspired us to turn our passion into something more: a fun, hands-on class where we help others learn the art (and joy) of mixing standout cocktails.

We believe crafting cocktails isn’t about complexity—it’s about care, creativity, and a little bit of know-how. Whether you're a beginner or a curious home bartender, we’re here to help you mix with confidence, experiment with purpose, and walk away with drinks you’ll be proud to serve.
