Decadent Drinks I don’t even like vodka. I’m a tequila person. But Waterman’s Spirits in Virginia Beach converted me. They distill their vodka in-house — like… the vodka is literally behind the bar watching you make bad decisions. Pro move: ➡️ Bring a date ➡️ Take the cocktail class ➡️ Let alcohol do the flirting for you Start with the Orange Crush. End questioning your loyalty to tequila. 10/10 would cheat on my usual drink again 🍊

Took a drink making class here for our anniversary and it didn’t disappoint! Instructors were fun & knowledgeable. Drinks were good and we even got to take home a mini bottle of liqueur! Bar area had great drink also!

Went for a Halloween themed cocktail class. Place was full with people having a great time. If you haven't done a cocktail class, I suggest you do.

Fantastic distillery and tasting room, perfect for a creative and delicious cocktail or two (or three)! Drinks were expertly balanced, not too strong or weak, or too sweet or acidic or bitter, just incredible. Unique and complimentary flavors and flares - masterful use of spices, fruit, and honey to make for an elevated experience. Fast and friendly service, as well, although I imagine they get busy at times; we were there on a quiet Thursday afternoon. Loved their seasonal menu, PSL Martini and Chai Espresso Martini were absolutely on point, as were Honey Pear and Sage Advice! Also tried the Pain Reliever and Pineapple Coconut Vodkarita from their regular menu - exquisite! Can't wait to make a return visit, cocktail classes look fun, as well.

I took the cocktail class this Sunday and it was the perfect inside activity, learning to make delicious drinks and learn about the brand. Will definitely be back, our instructor Marissa was great, had everyone interacting with each other, and her energy was amazing. She told us how the drinks change every few months to keep it fresh and relate to the seasons, I love that. Also had their espresso martini after class, that was delicious. If you haven’t done these classes yet I would recommend and ask for Marissa as they are changing the drinks in September for their fall class!
