We’ve all been flexing some unusual skills over the past couple of months because, really, we’ve simply had nothing better to do.
In fact, last Thursday we learned a thing or two during a cocktail-making class, presented by Fantastic Furniture, with ya boi Danny Clayton and mixologist Kurtis Bosley. We, along with people across Oz who tuned into the live stream, made a daiquiri, negroni and margarita, and it was actually so dang easy we thought it would be a disservice not to share with y’all.
So please, see below the recipes that’ll take your home-entertaining skills from 0 to 100, as well as the video for a more visual understanding.

If you missed the live stream, Danny also announced who the winner of the $1,000 gift card and wine cabinet from Fantastic Furniture was, based off the most creative cocktail name. It was “Goonshine” which makes me both nostalgic and thirsty.
But hey, at least now they’ll have a ripped backdrop to make the Goonshine in.
