If you dream of Death & Co., live and die by Kip's Manhattan at Southwark, or otherwise count your cash in $12 cocktail increments,� prepare to be schooled.

Michael Callahan, the bar manager of San Francisco's Gitane Restaurant & Bar, will be visiting Philadelphia this Monday to teach a class on the art of building and balancing a list of high-end "artisanal" cocktails.� Though the $50 class, which includes a tasting of high-end liquors and hors d'oeuvres to counteract the booze, is geared towards bar professionals, home enthusiasts are welcome.

Sip on new and revived classic liquors (St. Germain elderflower liqueur, Canton ginger brandy, for example) and learn how to pair their flavors with foods.� Callahan will also get down to nuts and bolts on pricing and cost controls, as well as how to implement organic and farm-to-table cocktail programs.

Class begins at 5 p.m., Monday, Sept. 28 at Beautiful Blooms (1021 N. Third St.).� Space is limited to 20 students, so RSVP to info@libationlaboratories.com.
