Free holiday shipping info

If you would like to order a cocktail workshop gift certificate & a physical product (cocktail book or candles) you still qualify for free shipping!

Here’s how to proceed.

First, place an order for your desired gift certificate, (available in 1, 2, or 4 tickets)

Your order will be processed and your gift certificate will be instantly emailed to you.

After placing this order, add your desired physical product to your cart and proceed to checkout. Once you are at checkout, use code HOLIDAYSHIPPING to remove the shipping charge.

why do I have to do this?

Our website doesn’t allow gift certificates to be added to your cart, they must be purchased separately. It’s a bit annoying, but using this work around allows you to still save the shipping free.

while you’re here, I’d like to say thank you for supporting our small business, we are an owner-operated program that has grown over the past 9 years and I stand behind every event & product we sell. Please reach out any time if you have any concerns or questions!

Cheers,
