Food shows on television cover just about everything you’ve ever thought about eating or drinking. And like shopping at Abercrombie it’s not very interactive. Emeril can “Kick it up a notch” all day long but will you ever know how it smells or tastes? 
The Association is one of the sexiest bars to pop up in downtown LA. It’s a little hard to find, like a person under 50 with a checkbook. But that’s part of what makes it unique. It’s lower level entrance and unmarked Ebenezer Scrooged door have all the tell tale signs of a secret club. Yet you’ll always find an interesting crowd and a diverse variety of music playing. Every Wednesday at 7pm they offer a free 2 hour introduction to cocktails class. And yes you get to do a little tasting too.This class will walk you through the process of cocktail design, mixology and history of their most popular cocktails. A date at a bar is pretty standard. Why not “Sip it up a notch” and upgrade from the Fuzzy Navels and Apple Martinis you’re so famous for making at Rotary Club meetings. Reservations through Eventbrite.com are necessary. (Next available class is April 25th)
