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
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.
