Alaska Bartending Certification & Bartending School

In Alaska, where our rugged landscape influences both culture and cuisine, the cocktail scene is characterized by hearty and adventurous concoctions. The Midnight Sun Martini is a school favorite, featuring Alaskan-made vodka or gin, shaken with a hint of locally-harvested blueberry syrup, and garnished with a twist of wild spruce tip.

The Glacier Grog pays homage to the state's stunning natural wonders, blending small-batch whiskey with Alaskan birch syrup and a splash of glacial water for a refreshing and distinctive taste.

Alaska's drinking culture is deeply intertwined with the spirit of exploration, and many cocktails showcase indigenous flavors, such as the Tundra Tonic, combining locally-distilled gin with a sprig of wild-harvested Labrador tea. The state's proximity to the Arctic Circle also inspires innovative mixes like the Aurora Fizz, blending Aurora Borealis-inspired blue curaçao with sparkling soda and a touch of Alaskan honey.

Cities like Anchorage and Juneau contribute to the local drinking scene, with bars often incorporating regional elements into their cocktails.
