Classic Cocktails: Amaro
More and more we are hearing the reports of how stress seems to be linked to almost every variety of illness and ailment we feel in our bodies. It is not uncommon to know someone suffering from high, almost debilitating, anxiety or overwhelm, all from the simple act of trying to live in this fast paced phenomenon we call life.

There is a huge misunderstanding in our society as to what this idea of "relaxing" actually is. Because knowledge is the precursor to experience, this class will lay a foundation of knowledge on a variety of studies and the scientific properties of what true relaxation actually looks like. You will learn that relaxing is not being lazy or lounging around on the sofa watching TV, but an actual skill that we can learn and develop. It is not something we do to kill time or something we do to simply feel good, but a necessary skill for you to maintain order, health, creativity, and allow you to become more productive in your everyday life.
Once we’ve built a foundation of knowledge we will then get into the experience of some practical tools and techniques in order to BECOME more relaxed. These techniques range from as little as 20 seconds to 15-20 minutes. They do not require you to attend a class or wear specific clothing. All of these techniques are designed to fit in to your life as it is.
If you are ready to conquer the stress and anxiety you feel in your life, this is the class for you!
About the teacher:
Amaro is an Italian herbal liqueur that is usually consumed as an after-dinner digestif, but did you know it also serves as a great base for delicious cocktails?

About the instructor:
Kaleena Goldsworthy was born in Maryland and raised in upstate New York. After suffering through many years of excessive snow, she felt it was time to move to a warmer climate, and found herself in Chattanooga only six months after visiting it for the first time. The fine folks at Flying Squirrel gave Kaleena her first job behind a bar and she instantly fell in love with the hospitality industry, the history of craft cocktails, and the food and beverage industry. To further her education and understanding of spirits and their origins, she started studying herbalism and began volunteering at Crabtree Farms. This knowledge, combined with her love of the cocktail industry, led her to start creating bitters at home. This passion grew, eventually leading to the creation of her business, The Bitter Bottle. The Bitter Bottle is focused on using organic and locally sourced ingredients to create bitters and tinctures. She also continues to focus on education, creating drinks, and sharing all of this with the community.
