PET Cocktail Tasting and Making Workshop #2 | Learn Cocktail Culture and Knowledge, Experience the Joy of Mixology, Become a Versatile Mixologist

Introduction / Content

Vibrant colors, delightful flavors,
Cocktails are an essential part of any young person's bar gathering.

Engage in conversations about your understanding of alcohol,
Recommend a cocktail tailored to your friends,
Or even create a special cocktail just for them,
Perhaps the best way to build rapport.

When it comes to ordering, tasting, and mixing cocktails,
It's no longer just a basic social skill for parties,
But a wonderful way to enjoy the night and share your personal taste with others.

However, with the wide variety and diverse preparation methods of cocktails,
It's impossible to fully grasp their intricacies without systematic learning.

Cocktail Tasting and Making Workshop

PET's new and old friends are eager to participate in cocktail-related courses that provide a comprehensive understanding of cocktails. However, such courses are relatively scarce and expensive. For those who want to expand their knowledge and add excitement to their lives without becoming professional mixologists or pursuing a career in mixology, there's no need to spend thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan to learn. That's why we have specially designed PET's unique cocktail workshops. The workshops are led by Simon, an IT guru with both artistic flair and professional expertise. He brings you the most informative, practical, and cost-effective cocktail tasting and making workshop in the capital. In just 9 hours, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of cocktail knowledge and culture. Under the guidance of the instructor, you will also have the opportunity to create several classic cocktails. This workshop will transform you from a novice drinker to a versatile mixologist who can both appreciate and create cocktails. When you bring your friends to a bar, you will shine like a star. If you're willing, you can even follow in Simon's footsteps and create your own home bar or cocktail party, becoming a fun and knowledgeable party expert.
