Cocktail Basics: Sours and Long Drinks – from 2 PM to 5 PM
Location: Bar Alkademie. 6484 Boul St-Laurent, Montreal, QC H2S 3C4
Immerse yourself for an afternoon in the fascinating world of cocktails. Join Masha Conesa, your guide throughout this adventure, to discover the basics of cocktail creation through the two structures that will be presented: the "Sour" and the "Long Drink." This will help you understand the logic behind these types of cocktails and create balanced variations that reflect your personal style!
Agenda:
- Welcome in our classroom with a cocktail to greet you.
- Introduction to bar equipment and its use.
- Presentation and tasting of basic ingredients: syrups, bitters, garnishes, alcoholic and non-alcoholic ingredients, and how to use them to achieve a well-balanced cocktail.
- Practical Session 1: The “Long Drink” — Are you a fan of gin and tonic, Spritz, or Tom Collins? Learn the essential elements of a long drink so you can then create a cocktail of your own! Prefer something fruity? Floral? Refreshing or tangy? Everything is possible with the multiple ingredient options available to you.
- Practical Session 2: The “Sour” Cocktail — Do you love cocktails packed with flavor and the light texture of sours? This module is perfect for you! Just like with the Long Drink, a basic structure will be presented, followed by the creation of your own sour cocktail. After this, whiskey sours and amaretto sours will hold no secrets for you!
- Anecdotes and tips throughout the course to help you craft your cocktails and impress your friends!
- Closing Session: You will receive a surprise gift bag and enjoy a private shopping period in our store with a 4th cocktail in hand, non-alcoholic this time to ensure a safe journey home.
Please note:
- The entire cocktail course can be done with or without alcohol.
- Snacks will be provided to accompany the course.
- We recommend bringing a notebook and pen to take notes during the course.
The course lasts approximately 3 hours.
