In each session you will:

Learn the fundamentals – the construct of a cocktail

Enjoy 3 cocktails – 2 made by us and one that you craft yourself

Learn the history of that month’s focus cocktail

Learn both the classic version and our “perfect” version of the cocktail

Get behind the bar and use your new skills and knowledge to make yourself a proper cocktail.
