THE "ODDBALLS" Cocktail Class - THURSDAY FEBRUARY 5 2026 @ 7 p.m.

THE "ODDBALLS" - FEBRUARY 5 2026, 7PM - 9PM

These are the “Oddballs.” The nerds. The “indoor” kids. The ones that you knew were awkward af but were gonna grow up to have their highschool bully as their gardener… maybe I’m projecting. 

The point is: these cocktails have all struggled to find their footing in the stratosphere that is modern cocktail culture. 

The Rise N’ Shine, which is our very delicious take on an Espresso Martini, has had a hard time growing up - it doesn’t have a coffee liqueur in it. Or a father to look up to. And everyone and their mother thinks they're a connoisseur of Espresso Martinis. 

The Negroni is already an acquired taste - knows everything about everything but won’t shut up. When Ni9 said we made our own Ni9 Negroni… people were skeptical and curious… but skeptical to say the least. 

And finally, Whisky Business, our Whiskey Sour using a very peculiar mystery cordial… has also walked uphill when it comes to cocktail menus - people are very fussy about their Whiskey Sours and guess what… so are bartenders.

So, we invite you to put our “Oddballs” in the spotlight and let them know how appreciative we are for their continued efforts. Just don’t drink them “performatively” like that Bay Street bro you know that won’t shut up about how he now suddenly loves Negronis.

Time: 7 p.m. - 9 p.m.

Location: 90 Cawthra Ave Suite 100, Toronto, ON
