Samantha Hutten and Holly Blackwell from Ridgeland, SC, recently completed an engaging hands-on bartending course, "Bartending and Mixology 301" for beginners, at Eats and Sweets (7752 W Main St, Ridgeland, SC 29936). Their private mentor, Dream S., with an impressive 17 years of experience in Charleston's top bars and restaurants, guided them through the essentials of bartending. Samantha and Holly learned the intricacies of handling beer, wine, and whiskey, as well as the art of mixing craft cocktails.
