So you've decided it's time for you to learn the art of making your very own Virtual Cocktail Party. So where do you start? To get things off to a good start, decide whether you would like to enroll in a live class at a local venue or, if so, set up your own private class of your very own. From there, choose from a range of different course and menu selection to tailor your virtual cocktail-making experience to suit your individual preferences.
The first step in making a success of your virtual cocktail classes is choosing the right content. You need a clear instruction set that walks you through the entire process from start to finish, so that you can make positive, lasting impressions on your clients. Not only should you be able to impart essential information, but also be able to offer your expertise in the industry to those who attend. Your instructor should offer a complete guide to making great cocktails, which should include recipes as well as the equipment you will need.
After the instructor has gone through all of the necessary information to teach you the basics, it is time to move on to the more entertaining aspects of making great cocktails. The right virtual cocktail class should encourage the guests to relax, have fun and try out some of the cocktails that you recommend for them. Remember that you don't want any guests feeling left out! So it's crucial that you make sure you give every guest the chance to put his/her favourite drink to good use.
A good instructor should go beyond telling guests what ingredients to use and how to mix them. They should go into great detail about the various flavours you can add into your cocktails, the difference between a good Manhattan and also how to garnish each one. In addition to this, they should go into the different drinks making techniques, such as how to make a Manhattan with a simple garnish of a sprig of mint. With great virtual cocktail classes, the instructor should not only take you through the basics of making cocktails but also give you tips and suggestions for future developments and how they can be incorporated into your next recipe.
You'll be able to choose from many different types of courses depending on your level of experience. There are many basic courses where you learn just the basics and then have an opportunity to participate in the actual cocktail party. If this is the case, you will probably find that these types of courses are suitable for you as you are not likely to be able to judge your success very accurately on paper. For advanced courses, you will get more of a chance to demonstrate your abilities and be taught by a professional who can point out your mistakes. In this way, you will be able to improve as a bartender and have a lot of fun at the same time.
The basic course should be suitable for participants of all ages and there should be enough adult supervision so that no children are allowed to participate. The instructions should be easy to understand and interesting, especially for those of us who have studied attending for years and sometimes forget what actually goes on at the bar when customers come in. It is also advisable to check whether the course has a series of videos so that the participants can see how cocktail making actually takes place. At the end of the video, the instruction should be followed and all participants should get an opportunity to try some of the cocktails created using the video. As well as getting some great tips, you will also be able to practice at home to see if the recipes work well.
