The fan-favorite Sippin’ Series returns to Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts for limited-edition summer events in July, August, and September.
Sippin’ Series is an intimate experience that explores the world of spirits, wine,s and cocktail concepts with professionals from Republic National Distributing. Each event in the series focuses on a central beverage and seeks to further develop participants’ knowledge on the topic through in-person experience.
“Every time I bring a professional in, I’m learning just as much as our attendees are,” Jamie Prins, director of events at Scottsdale Arts (which operates the center) and organizer of the series, says. “It’s also a great opportunity to be able to talk to people who might not necessarily buy tickets to some of our other events but get the chance to experience us for the first time.”
An evening at a Sippin’ Series event is often a mixture of history, regional information, unique recipes, and fun new products. This deep-dive is done in a laid-back, conversational style that invites attendees of all knowledge levels to participate.
For the summer series, participants will have the chance to sample three liquors products that have not been featured in previous events—tequila cocktail recipes on July 13, the latest offerings from the Penelope Bourbon line on Aug. 17, and an array of Empress Gin drinks on Sept. 7.
“Sippin’ Series is a great way to taste drinks and ingredients that you might not taste unless you were at a high-end cocktail bar,” Prins says. “It’s a fun, casual, unintimidating opportunity to learn about various spirits and ask questions, knowing that no one is going to make you feel less than for not knowing the ins and outs of mixology.”
All events will be held at Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts, 7380 E. 2nd St., Scottsdale, AZ 85251. Tickets start at $50.
