"The hands-on training I received during my in-person lessons at Des Moines's Brooklyn Bartending School was invaluable! My instructor, Jon, dedicated his heart and soul, and I'll never forget the thrill of mastering the Breeze cocktail in his class.

Learn The Most Popular Cocktails In Iowa
In the heart of the Hawkeye State, where fertile fields stretch to the horizon, the Cornfield Collins reigns supreme. Crafted with locally distilled corn vodka, a squeeze of Iowa-grown lime, and a splash of elderflower tonic, this cocktail pays homage to the state's agricultural prowess. Another cherished concoction is the Dubuque Daisy, blending local gin, a whisper of rhubarb syrup, and a touch of sparkling water, capturing the essence of the state's charming riverfront cities. Garnishes like a sprig of prairie sage or a slice of sweet corn add a touch of rustic elegance to the sensory experience, while classic mason jars or locally crafted tumblers reflect Iowa's down-to-earth charm.
Iowa's drinking culture, deeply rooted in the state's agricultural festivals and community gatherings, is evident in cocktails like the Heartland Highball, featuring local whiskey, ginger ale, and a twist of Iowa apple essence. Liquor laws, shaped by the state's conservative traditions and evolving trends, influence the accessibility of spirits across cities like Des Moines and Cedar Rapids.
Historically, Iowa's love affair with spirits dates back to its pioneering days, and today, the libations served pay tribute to the state's resilience, innovation, and a spirited celebration of its rich landscapes. Each sip of an Iowa cocktail is an invitation to savor the flavors of the heartland and embrace the warmth of its communal drinking culture.
