Lydia’s Cocktail Club is returning to Shire Lane Estate for another evening of cocktails, creativity and good company in New Town. After teaming up in June for a Peach Pecan Old Fashioned, Lydia’s is back with a new creation that feels just right as summer gives way to fall: a S’mores Martini.

Lydia’s Cocktail Club is designed to be as much about the experience as the drink. Guests will enjoy a full-sized S’mores Martini while following along with a fun, step-by-step demonstration led by a professional bartender. No cocktail-making experience is necessary—the evening is casual, beginner-friendly and perfect for anyone interested in learning a few tricks behind the bar.

And the experience doesn’t end when the glass is empty. Each $28 ticket also includes a Lydia’s refill kit to take home, giving guests everything they need to recreate the featured cocktail later.

Lydia’s Cocktail Kits was created by St. Charles entrepreneur Lydia Allen, a baker-turned-cocktail-maker who is also behind Sugar & Slice. Her cocktail kits use real fruits, spices and botanicals that are infused with your favorite spirit, making craft cocktails approachable to create at home.

Cocktail Club brings that same idea to life in a social setting—making it an easy choice for a date night, friends’ night out or simply an excuse to try something different close to home.

Everything is provided, so just bring yourself, grab a few friends and get ready to sip, learn and enjoy a S’mores-inspired taste of fall. Advance registration is required.
