We’re excited to share that Gulf Shores & Orange Beach recently highlighted The Hope Farm’s Art of Mixology: Backyard BBQ Cocktail Class on its events calendar. The listing promoted the hands-on class at The Barn at The Hope Farm in Fairhope on Thursday, July 2, 2026, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., framing it as part of the destination’s broader summer events lineup.

According to the event description, the class was designed as The Hope Farm’s July installment of its Art of Mixology series, timed ahead of Fourth of July celebrations and America’s 250th anniversary. Guests were invited to learn how to craft a lineup of seasonal cocktails built specifically for backyard entertaining.

The feature notes that participants would make four summer BBQ cocktails: a Custom Watermelon Sour, Charred Citrus Collins, Grilled Peach Mule, and a Shandy-Rita. The listing also included event details such as the Fairhope location, ticket price of $75 with tax and gratuity included, and the note that tickets were non-refundable.

We’re proud to see this event recognized as part of the region’s summer culinary calendar and to share experiences that bring people together around seasonal flavors, hands-on learning, and relaxed hospitality at The Barn.
