NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Rémy Cointreau USA, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Rémy Cointreau Group, and Drizly, the world's largest alcohol marketplace, are teaming up to unveil the new virtual Cocktail Studio – a complimentary one-stop destination for cocktail enthusiasts to discover, learn and experiment with at-home mixology. As the art of at-home cocktail making continues to flourish more than ever before, Drizly and three premier spirits from the Rémy Cointreau portfolio – Cointreau, The Botanist Islay Dry Gin and Mount Gay Rum – are enlisting industry experts to further educate and inform all cocktail makers, from beginners to connoisseurs, on the basics of at-home cocktail making.

Starting this month, cocktail enthusiasts can learn to craft America’s top three cocktails - The Original Margarita, The Martini and The Old Fashioned – from world renowned mixologists and leading industry experts, just in time for the fall and holiday season. Each Virtual Cocktail Studio session will take participants behind the bar with an expert in the space, from master blenders to head distillers and provide an in-depth look at one of these leading classic cocktails. During each session participants will learn all about the core essential ingredients found in each of these classic cocktails – from Cointreau and The Botanist Islay Dry Gin to Mount Gay Rum – while following a step-by-step tutorial on how to mix up the classics, along with a few twists on the recipes. Each session is slated to be 45 minutes to one hour.
