What Will You Learn From Carl Busch
So we’ll teach you how to make the drinks, but that’s not all. We’re going to teach you the “why” behind it all. Why? Mixology is both a science and an art form, and to do it right, you have to know the science.
We can all put shit into a glass and eventually tweak it enough to taste good. But that’s not why we’re here.
WE’RE NOT HERE TO HAVE A GOOD COCKTAIL. WE WANT THE BEST DAMN COCKTAILS AROUND.

Why Carl Busch?
You may be asking yourself, “Why the hell should I even read or even try these recipes? Who are you to tell me what to do?” Fair question, we often wonder the same thing.
But, here’s the deal, CARL HAS BEEN A MIXOLOGIST FOR MORE THAN 13 YEARS. He is self-taught and doesn’t get complacent. He is always reading, learning, and trying new techniques to better his craft.
It’s not all serious! Mixing and serving cocktails is super fun. Especially when you get the wide-eyed look, and a “wow!” after your friends try that drink you made. So let’s get you making those fantastic adult beverages. You will not be disappointed when you’re done.
