About this class

In this cocktail course for beginners, the following skills are taught:

  • The basic mixing techniques, which are of course used virtually directly
  • Different beverage groups of mixed drinks
  • The structure of mixed drinks
  • Glass types
  • The nutritional physiology behind drinks and ingredients
  • Different “classics” with different mixing methods and their advantages and disadvantages
  • The taste chart, which is super easy to help you recommend drinks and choose your own drink

We recommend that all participants show up without a car. However, this now sounds very focused on alcohol: You are welcome to mix completely alcohol-free during our mixing course. All of this is possible because I respond individually to the participants and can work with non-alcoholic distillates, among other things.

I have two cocktail courses: for beginners and advanced players. I recommend the advanced course if you have already attended the beginner course, because the drinks in the second course are more complex and the working method starts right where the basic course ends.

What you’ll do in the class

Since we only have 3 hours available, we start right away with an explanation of the portfolio and the first basic recipe with help with the first pitfalls that exist (drink temperature and mixing ratio.

While your first drink is being enjoyed, it's straight on to explaining the shaker and then the second mixed drink. In the best case, the third and therefore last mixed drink should then be completely creative, with what you have learned from steps 1 and 2, completely tailored to your taste. In addition, you will receive a large selection of recipes beforehand, which can/should serve as inspiration.

So packed full of information and lots of fun.

Who is the class suitable for?

There are actually no limits to this. I've already had 15-year-olds attend this course, but I've also had restaurateurs who simply wanted to become a bit more saddle-proof at the bar. I always make every effort to pick up every participant from where they are.

Details to remember

It was an absolutely great course. I was able to take away a lot of new knowledge for myself, had a lot of fun and I was able to creatively expand my own preferences. The course instructor Norbert has a great and very open-minded manner, with which he has imparted his expertise in a great way. The course makes me want to learn the craft and I am sure that I will also attend the advanced course after this experience. Thank you for the absolutely enriching time.

The course was super fun and was very interesting both for absolute newbies and for those who have already mixed a cocktail or two but have never dealt with the background. Norbert packed it very well and delivered it loosely.

The course was very informative but not too lengthy. The cocktails we were allowed to mix were a bomb and Norbert always had good tips for us. Always happy to do it again!

Highly recommended! Unfortunately, a little too much talk & mix too little for my taste, but the drinks were terrific & the inspiration was limitless! I'd like more of it & less talk about volume percentages and invoices...! Great course, great guy! Always happy 🏼

The background knowledge was very exciting and informative. Testing and trying it out for yourself was also very exciting and definitely enjoyable.

We would revisit the course again and again. Norbert has imparted so much knowledge and did so in a relaxed way. We found it particularly cool that fixed recipes were not simply remixed, but that you could experiment yourself after a few theoretical principles. Great experience and we're probably going on to the next course. 👍
