What is the Mixologist’s Lounge?

What is the “Mixologist’s Lounge?”

In the traditional sense, many spirit-based societies would call this section the “Education", “Awareness” or “Advocacy” section of their organization. The component that is utilized for the members to engage the different brands about all aspects of spirits and their brands. While, at the core, this is true about the Mixologist’s Lounge of the Krimson Society we’ve decided to add a deeper twist & dash of coolness and culture to the way we shall engage in the education and advocacy of our members.

The Mixologist’s Lounge is what it is. A virtual lounge where the members of The Society come to chill, vibe, relax, converse and engage with some of the top Mixologst’s from around the world while learning about the art of cocktail cultivation. Where the members can educate themselves about the global appeal of spirits in a laid back format over cool vibes and melodies as smooth as the cocktails they sip on. Pure, plan and simple, the Mixologist’s lounge is more than education….its an Experience.

A New “Spin” on the Mixologist

In the late 70’s through the early 2000’s you would go to a club or lounge not just for the ambiance, people or, yes, the drinks but for the DJ. In the “good ole days” the DJ was the central feature of any place. The DJ was an artists. He or she just didn’t see a record as a record but as a color which they blended with other colors to come up with unique works of art the evoked the greatest of emotions and experiences out of the the people on the dancefloor. Well what the DJ is to music, the Mixologist is to spirits.
The Mixologist is more than just someone that serves drinks. The Mixologist is an aficionado in the creation of cocktails. They indulge themselves in the endless pursuit of creating new combination of spirits with other spirits, libations with other libations and all other things natural under the sun to give birth to new works of art that too, like the DJ, evokes experiences and emotions from the people they serve.

The “Sessions”

If one was to go to a Jazz club, you would sit for an entire “set” or “session.” The session would be a series of pieces or songs the jazz musicians would ensemble for the audience. In respect to the mixologist and their ability to create new cocktails through the genius of their “improvisation” the Krimson Society’s approach to our Mixologist series is to create a series of “sessions” rather than classes. Each session, depending on the mixologist, will be comprised of 2 to 4 courses on cocktail cultivation. We do this to not just explore the cocktail we wish to understand but to get to know the mixologist and the way they see both the cocktail and the world.
