Season, smoke, and savor la Barbecue’s brisket

Spend the afternoon at Michelin-starred la Barbecue, where I’ll give you a pitmaster’s tour of our restaurant and show you how to season and smoke meats at home. • We’ll start with a cocktail or beer while I share the story of la Barbecue, from its food truck origins to its Michelin star. • I’ll lead you on an exclusive tour through our barbecue pits and discuss the best way to smoke meats. I’ll also show you how to trim and season a brisket. • Then you’ll sit down to enjoy a family-style Texas supper with all the fixings. We source our beef from a local ranch, then cook our brisket low ’n’ slow over Texas post oak. It’ll melt in your mouth! You won’t just leave full and happy—you’ll learn all the steps that go into cooking classic Texas barbecue.

Craft cocktails like a master mixologist at Eden speakeasy

Tucked behind an unmarked door, Eden is a portal to another era, one where carefully crafted cocktails are designed and desired. In this private, pre-opening masterclass, you’ll step behind the bar and into the world of mixology, learning to make two signature drinks using Texas spirits. • You’ll have the chance to settle into Eden’s hidden oasis and snack on a charcuterie platter before the class starts. • Next, we’ll tell you about the evolution of classic cocktails, the role of selected Texas spirits and the chemistry behind balanced flavors. • Get one-on-one guidance as you learn to make two signature drinks—an option from a manhattan classic or an old-fashioned using a Texas based Whiskey and a choice between a mule variation or a "Agave special" using Sotol (an agave spirit based in Texas). • Finally, it’s time to taste your handcrafted creations. As you sip, I’ll share pro tips and mix up one more cocktail, demonstrating advanced techniques before the evening ends. By the end of the class, you won’t just know how to follow a cocktail recipe; you’ll understand the why behind every shake, stir, and garnish. Pull up a barstool, raise a glass, and let’s make some magic in this behind-the-scenes experience at one of Austin’s most exclusive speakeasies.
