Locals claim that the Big Easy is the birthplace of the cocktail and it is true that several famous cocktails were first created here. Regardless of this claim, the chance to learn how to craft and mix a proper cocktail from an expert mixologist in the vibrant setting of a New Orleans bar is a real treat. During the evening, your expert mixologist will teach you to make four classic New Orleans cocktails: Pimm’s Cup, Hurricane, Sazerac and Vieux Carre. You will learn how to craft the drinks with an understanding of the key ingredients and the role of each cocktail in the history and culture of the city. The experience can be as interactive as you wish, whether that is sitting at the bar as the mixologist dazzles you with their cocktail making talent or getting behind the bar to mix and serve the cocktails yourself.
