"ClutchFold," Virtual Cocktail Classes, and Other Food Events This Weekend

South Florida is slowly reopening, but restaurants and bars are continuing to find ways to serve and engage with the community via contactless delivery, virtual hangouts, and pick-up specials.

This weekend, participate in virtual cocktail-making classes, support Threefold Cafe and Clutch Burger with an all-day food-and-drink event, and enjoy dim sum at Tanuki. Plus, Phuc Yea reopens its dining room!

South Beach Wine & Food Festival's Virtual Mixology Class

The South Beach Wine & Food Festival's Lee Brian Schrager is engineering a 20-part virtual mixology series that will provide viewers with a chance to learn the art of the cocktail from Miami's best bartenders. First up, on Friday, June 12, at 7 p.m., is Kyu's bar manager, James MacInnes, who'll teach you how to make his favorite Asian-inspired cocktails. Chat Chow's Gio Gutierrez, who co-hosts the series, will provide color commentary and assist MacInnes with the drink making. Each virtual class is conducted over Zoom and costs $20. Participants will receive a code to join, along with the recipes and ingredient list so they can mix along at home. They'll also be able to ask questions in real time — so if you want to know whether you can substitute lemon juice for lime juice or how to make simple syrup, this is your chance to consult a master bartender. All proceeds from the classes will be donated directly to FIU's Hospitality Industry Relief Fund, which provides financial support to independently owned and operated restaurants and bars affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties. To date, the fund has disbursed more than $1.6 million in grants to hundreds of South Florida restaurants. First virtual class begins at 7 p.m. Friday, June 12.
