It’s Saturday afternoon and you’re at home. The kids are out for the day, the house is clean, and you don’t have any plans for the evening. With this kind of set-up, we know what you’re thinking.

Oh, yeah. It’s cocktail time.

Problem is, the Internet says if you drink alone, you might have an alcohol problem. We have the perfect solution: Mixology 101. You can sit in with one of the resort bar’s cute bartenders (er, mixologists) who will demonstrate how to make three to four cocktails with jovial chatting, helpful hints, and a history of the drink. Be social while fixing up that drinking urge with a few tastes of the cocktails. The warm buzz will surely get you through the afternoon.
