What you’ll do in the class
At the multiplication tables cocktail course in the PinTa cocktail bar, you will arrive relaxed and will be greeted with a small welcome drink. Our team will then guide you step by step through the most important basics of classic bar culture.
Together, we'll prepare five classic cocktails: Martini, Negroni, Old Fashioned, Daiquiri and Manhattan. Each drink stands for its own basic principle. Martini is about precision, temperature, vermouth, and dilution. With Negroni, you get to know balance through bitterness and sweetness. The Old Fashioned shows you the original cocktail formula of spirit, sugar, bitters and water. Daiquiri explains the sour principle of spirit, acidity and sweetness. The Manhattan combines spirit, vermouth and bitters to create an elegant stirred classic.
The course is practical, understandable and enjoyable. You'll learn when to stir or shake a drink, what role ice plays, how dilution affects taste, and why balance is more important than complicated ingredients. Each drink is explained, prepared and tasted together.
Water and popcorn will be available during the course. In the end, you've learned five classics, understood key bar techniques and developed a feeling for how good cocktails are structured.
Who is the class suitable for?
The multiplication tables cocktail course is suitable for anyone who wants to understand cocktails better and learn how to mix them themselves. You don't need any previous knowledge and don't need to know any technical terms.
The course is ideal for beginners who want to know why some drinks are stirred and others are shaken, how balance is created and what basic ingredients make sense in a good home bar.
The course is also very suitable for teams, companies, birthdays, JGAs or private groups. The focus is on mixing, enjoying, exchanging ideas and a special evening at the PinTa cocktail bar in Dresden Neustadt.
