Course Content Overview

In 3.5 hours, you’ll learn

The perfect serve
With cocktail making, getting the flavours right is just the tip of the iceberg. Nailing the perfect serve encompasses everything, from glassware and ice to garnish and mixer. Gavin will talk you through how to put together the ultimate gin and tonic, Aperol spritz and rusty nail.

The history of cocktails
Bartending has a rich and chequered past that's heavily influenced the industry today. Follow the intriguing journey of the cocktail, beginning in the 1800s, through to pre-prohibition America and the tiki era – right up to modern-day mixology.

Essential methods and techniques
This course arms you with core skills you can put into practice behind any bar. Gavin will teach you the fundamental techniques of shaking, pouring, muddling, stirring and rolling. He'll also cover more advanced methods, like the double bottle pour and chase pour.

Equipment
Get to grips with the key equipment you’ll use behind a real bar – or your very own at-home bar. You'll work with stirring glasses, shakers, strainers, spoons, citrus squeezers, muddlers, jiggers and more.

Cocktail recipes
The wonderful world of cocktails awaits. You'll start with the staples, then quickly move on to more complex creations. Discover the daiquiri, mojito, white Russian, pisco sour and plenty more.

Flavours
You know what goes into a cocktail. Now it's time to learn why. Gavin will cover the five key flavours: sweet, sour, bitter, salty and umami. He'll then explain how to strike the right balance and invent your own creations.
