Sip, shake, and stir your way to gin mastery in this interactive class.
Master the art of gin cocktail making with a two-hour class led by mixologist extraordinaire, Max Wingert, from 4 – 6 p.m. on Sunday, October 13.
The class will be held at one of Tucson’s newest cocktail lounges, Unicorn Zebra, where you’ll get the chance to learn and craft four iconic gin cocktails while honing your stirring and shaking techniques, flavor combinations, bar tool know-how, and more.
“Gin is probably the most versatile of spirits. It’s the Gary Oldman of alcohol — you may not always recognize him, but he’s in everything,” said Wingert. “Same with Gin. We’re going to explore some of gin’s biggest roles in classic cocktails.”

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
