PET Cocktail Tasting and Mixology Workshop #2 | Explore Cocktail Culture and Knowledge, Experience the Art of Mixology, Become a Cocktail Enthusiast

Introduction / Event Details

Vibrant colors, exquisite flavors,
cocktails are a must-have for any young bar-goer.

Discuss your understanding of alcohol,
help your friends find a cocktail that suits them,
or even create a special cocktail just for them,
perhaps the best way to build a connection.

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

However, with a wide variety of cocktail types and techniques,
it's impossible to fully understand the secrets without proper learning.

Cocktail Tasting and Mixology Workshop

PET's new and old friends have been eager to participate in cocktail-related courses to gain comprehensive knowledge about cocktails. However, such courses are limited and expensive. It's unnecessary to spend thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan to learn for someone who wants to expand their knowledge and add fun to their life, rather than becoming a professional mixologist. Therefore, we have specially designed the PET signature Cocktail Workshop. It will be hosted by Simon, a prominent figure in the IT industry with both artistic and professional spirit. Simon will bring you the most informative, practical, and cost-effective cocktail tasting and mixology workshop in Beijing. In just 9 hours, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of cocktail knowledge and culture. Under Simon's guidance, you will also get to make several classic cocktails. This workshop will transform you from a novice to a knowledgeable and skillful cocktail enthusiast who can entertain friends at bars. You will shine like a star. If you're willing, you can even follow in Simon's footsteps and set up your own home bar or cocktail party, becoming the entertaining and knowledgeable life of the party.
