Our next meeting will be on Monday, April 7th at 7pm in Fullerton. We will be treated to a tasting featuring Highland Park and the OCBC board has prepared a very cool presentation on Sour families. This education will be appropriate for all, whether you just started tending at a craft cocktail bar using fresh juices or you are and old pro who’s looking for a great method to train your bar staff.

As always, to maintain the quality of service, presentation, space, food and drink we are limiting the capacity to 35 and must insist on RSVPs. Please get your RSVP in early and send it to info@bartenderscabinet.com if you’re planning on attending, let us know if something comes up so we can make your spot available to someone else if you can’t make it.

Hope to see you there!
