Aperitivo is a core principal of Italian bar culture: an aperitivo is a ritual pre-meal drink.
The tradition is meant “to open” the stomach before dining. Accordingly, for centuries Italians have said cheers – cin cin – over drinks and appetisers in the early evening hours between work and dinner, it is also called "happy hours".
During this interactive experience, our skilled bartenders will guide you through the creation of two delicious Italian Aperitivo cocktails for you to taste and enjoy. You'll get to experience the true spirit of Italian bar culture as we delve into the world of aperitivo drinks and appetisers.
The class will begin with a fascinating explanation of the Negroni, Limoncello Bramble, and Espresso Martini, followed by demonstrations and tastings. With the guidance of our experts, you'll have the opportunity to craft your own concoction, experiencing the joy and satisfaction of creating a perfect "aperitivo all'italiana".
But the fun doesn't stop there! Get ready for the grand finale as we let you loose behind the bar to show off your skills. Finish your experience on a high note with a shot of limoncello, truly embracing the spirit of the Italian aperitivo tradition.
Throughout the two-hour class, you can expect an interactive and hands-on experience, immersing yourself in the fundamental styles of cocktail making. We'll provide all the premium ingredients and materials, ensuring you have everything you need to create your own drinkable masterpiece.
