Ever found yourself mesmerized by the rhythmic clinking of ice in a cocktail shaker, wondering about the origins of those delicious concoctions? Well, so did we at Robert Kline Art! We recently hosted a virtual cocktail history class, and let me tell you, it was the perfect recipe for a fun and engaging evening.
If you’re looking for a unique way to spice up your next virtual event, then a cocktail history class might be just what you need. Let’s dive into what made our experience so memorable and how you can recreate the magic.
A Spirited Journey Through Time
Our virtual adventure began with a charismatic “spirit guide,” who not only guided us through the cocktail-making process but also entertained us with fascinating tales of their history.
Did you know, for example, that the word “cocktail” itself has a murky past with several disputed origin stories? Our guide regaled us with these tales, making the experience both educational and captivating.
Seamless Supplies and Simple Steps
One of the aspects we appreciated most was the ease of preparation. Prior to the event, all participants received a curated box containing the necessary ingredients and tools. This ensured everyone could join in on the fun without having to scramble for supplies.
The instructions were clear and concise, making it a breeze even for those who, like me, consider themselves more of an artist than a bartender!
Crafting Connections Over Cocktails
The real magic, however, lay in the connections forged over shaken (or stirred) cocktails. As we sipped on our creations, laughter and conversation flowed effortlessly.
“The virtual format actually made it easier to connect with colleagues,” shared one participant, James C. “There was a shared sense of camaraderie as we all stumbled through muddling our mint and mastering our shaking techniques.”
Stir Up Your Own Virtual Cocktail History Class
Inspired to host your own cocktail history class? Here are a few tips:
