Membership Mixer (Virtual)

Join us as we put the "Mix" in "Mixer!"

Participate in a fun Mixology Course led by our Professional Mixologist guide. Stir up the conversation and explore the essential classic drinks that you must know. Go back to basics — learn about the real OG cocktails and their history while adding a modern twist — all by using proper technique, units of measurements, glassware, and more.  

Afterward, join fellow attendees for a Networking Activity hosted by SEFAA's own Young Professionals Council.

Mixology Activity with Eric Sobalvarro

Born and raised in Venezuela, Eric Sobalvarro’s passion for the beverage industry grew through his many years working in New York City allowing him to perfect his skills at creating unique cocktails that suit every person’s palate.

Currently fulfilling the role of the Director of Bar Operations at Skopos Hospitality, he provides full training, develops educational programs, and beverage menu design and selection to four restaurants in Northern New Jersey. While Eric’s ultimate goal is to make New Jersey a craft Bar/Cocktail destination, today he will share his passion for our SEFAA members by showcasing creative twists in classic favorites! Eric’s favorite saying is "Life is too short to drink crappy cocktails!"
