We were honoured to be invited (once again) by local conference and wedding venue Hothorpe and the Woodlands to help them with an open event they were running.
They invited a group of conference organisers who get a great evening and night’s stay in one of the Midlands premier conference facilities.
Our role was to run a cocktail making session with them pre-dinner. We ran a 6 cocktail menu. 3 classics. And then 3 Woodland-inspired cocktails featuring such ingredients as lavender, rose, and apple.
We also gave the assembled group the chance to make their own cocktails under the watchful eye of our two mixologists, Andrew and Duncan.
We got some excellent feedback including this from the event organiser …..“Thanks so much to you and Duncan for last night – it was fab! We’ve had brilliant feedback from our delegates and the cocktails were delicious.”
We did a short talk first. A bit of background about cocktails in general. How they evolved, and why prohibition ironically gave them a big boost. We gave a little history about the 6 cocktails we offered, from the old classic the Singapore Sling, through to the Lavender Martini.
Each person had the chance to make their own, and we did a Q&A session afterwards. They’re always fun. You never know what questions you’re going to get.
