What You Will Learn?

  • This course will take you from zero to delicious cocktails in a few simple and understandable steps! In this hands-on course, many key cocktail techniques are explained using delicious cocktails to demonstrate, which you can adjust to make your own based on the simple and understandable tips shared throughout the course. .
  • We will introduce fundamental techniques such as shaking, double shaking, stirring, building and blending using examples such as a Daiquiri, a White Lady, a Negroni, two Mojito variations and a Strawberry Daiquiri. .
  • Even if you have never made a cocktail in your life, this and subsequent courses are designed to demystify cocktails and get you mixing delicious drinks right away either using professional tools or simply those around your house. .
  • To get started, grab whatever bottles you have around the house and a few bits and pieces… OR, if you want to go all-in, you can buy some or all of the tools and bottles listed below. Every tool has a household alternative listed in episode 3, and all of the recommended bottles in episode 4 are designed to be affordable (mostly under £25) and readily available. .
  • If you have some or all of these, you will be able to make a version of so, so many cocktails and the lessons will help you choose, mix and enjoy drinks that you love! .
  • I look forward to joining you there, let’s make some cocktails!.
