WE'D forgive you for thinking Epernay Champagne Bar is mainly about champagne. In fact cocktails make up 65% of the drinks they serve, and their bar tenders are some of the most experienced and knowledgable in the city when it comes to mixing drinks.
It follows that their masterclasses are a cut above. If you want to really get to grips with cocktails, rather than just have a bit of a laugh with your friends, this is the place to go.
Educational and enjoyable, the classes are designed to help you become a cocktail connoisseur. Over two hours they'll make you four premium cocktails each, talking you through each drink's recipe, history, characteristics, and the techniques you need to master to get it right.
The aim is to help you discover what 'your' particular drink is. By the end of the class, you'll have the confidence to order well when you're out, and mix well when you're at home.
There's no set menu – the bar-tender tutor will talk to you about your likes and dislikes, and make your drinks accordingly. The fifth and final drink, you make yourself, using the skills you've learnt.
For those who want a true masterclass, rather than a party-style cocktail session, Epernay is ideal. Classes are £50 and include two hours of tutoring and five cocktails. The maximum masterclass size is eight.
