Learn to shake like the pros
Have you always wanted to know what the secret of fine cocktails is? Would you like to be able to handle a shaker like a bartender yourself and surprise your guests with fine drinks at your next party? This workshop will give you an insight into the colorful world of mixed drinks. You will familiarize yourself with shaker utensils, spirits, juices and garnishes and learn how to mix and decorate alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks yourself. Last but not least, you and your team will create your own drink, which will then be judged by a jury.
The theory
Before the shaker is shaken for all it's worth, you will receive an exciting introduction to materials and products, which will enable you to prepare drinks according to recipes later on. Incidentally, you will not only receive the recipes for remixing electronically, but also the photos taken during the event. After dividing your group into smaller teams of 7 to 15 participants, the cocktail professional will introduce you to the most important spirits, juices and utensils. Then it's on to the essence, the art of cocktail mixing itself. Finally, the workshop leader will give you a few tips and tricks for creating the garnishes.
The practice
Now you can lend a hand yourself. Based on what you have just learned and the recipes, you will practise using the shaker, mix five alcoholic and three non-alcoholic drinks and make the matching garnishes. Each participant is involved in these activities and real teamwork is required. Of course, each drink must also be tasted.
The competition
Team coordination is also required in the subsequent competition. Each group must now create an alcoholic drink themselves, invent a garnish for it and finally come up with an original name. The creations are then judged by a jury on their appearance, taste and practicality. The winning team will be honored with a bottle of champagne to take home. Cheers!
The workshop can also be used between the end of a seminar and dinner at the hotel or conference center or as an icebreaker.
