What might the class look like?
Wondering what to expect? Here’s a quick glimpse of a typical cocktail-making class:
1. Arrival and welcome: Once you arrive at the location, you’ll receive a warm welcome. Most classes start with a complimentary drink to get you in the mood. Raise your glasses and get ready for a fantastic time ahead!
2. Theory and introduction to the world of cocktails: Before you grab the shakers, there’s a short theory session. Don’t worry - it’s anything but boring! In about 30 minutes, you’ll uncover the secrets of cocktail culture. You’ll learn what makes a great cocktail, the essential spirits, and the perfect flavor combinations. A few fun facts about cocktail history are, of course, included.
3. Hands-on practice: Now it’s time to mix! After the theory, the real fun begins. The next 2-3 hours are all about mixing, shaking, and tasting. Each of you will have the chance to create your own cocktails under the guidance of a professional. Whether it’s a Margarita, Piña Colada, or a refreshing Gin Tonic - you decide the menu! The bartenders will teach you the proper techniques, and after a few tries, you’ll be making drinks like a pro.
4. Cocktail competition: Some providers even organize a mini-competition at the end of the session: Who can create the tastiest and most creative cocktail? Let your imagination run wild and wow the group with your newfound skills. The fun is guaranteed!
5. Tasting and wrapping Up: After mixing comes the best part - tasting! Enjoy your handcrafted cocktails in a cozy setting and wrap up the evening with a smile. There’s plenty of time to chat about the best drinks of the night or choose your favorites.
