Santa Fe School of Cooking Teams Up with Santa Fe Spirits for Smoke & Spirits Barbecue Class

If you’re looking to take your backyard barbecue game to the next level, the Santa Fe School of Cooking has a class that blends smoky flavors, local ingredients, and handcrafted cocktails into one unforgettable afternoon.

On Saturday, August 1, the school is partnering with Santa Fe Spirits for a special Smoke & Spirits hands-on cooking class. During the three-hour experience, participants will learn grilling techniques, barbecue recipes, and tips for creating a memorable cookout—all while enjoying cocktails crafted with Santa Fe Spirits’ award-winning New Mexico-made spirits.

What’s on the Menu?

Guests will prepare a full barbecue-inspired meal featuring:

• Grilled Flank Steak with Cascabel Whiskey BBQ Sauce
• BBQ Smoked Pork Ribs
• Green Chile Mac & Cheese
• Pineapple Carrot Cole Slaw
• Blue Corn Muffins

The class is designed for both experienced home cooks looking to refine their grilling skills and beginners who simply want to enjoy an afternoon of great food, great drinks, and expert instruction.

Because the class is hands-on, attendees won’t just watch—they’ll prepare the dishes themselves and learn techniques they can recreate at home for future family gatherings and backyard cookouts.
