This is a fun activity in Manchester

Aperitivo is a core part of Italian bar culture – a ritual pre-meal drink designed to “open” the appetite before dining. For generations, Italians have gathered in the early evening to enjoy drinks, appetisers, and great company.

During this interactive experience, our skilled bartenders will introduce you to the world of Italian aperitivo through a combination of live demonstrations, tastings, and hands-on cocktail making.

The class includes:
• A welcome aperitivo cocktail demonstration with tasting
• An additional cocktail demonstration led by our mixologist (tasting included, shared depending on group size)
• One cocktail personally crafted by each participant
• A shot of limoncello to finish

You’ll also learn about iconic cocktails such as the Negroni, Limoncello Bramble, and Espresso Martini, gaining insight into their history, ingredients, and preparation techniques.

Throughout the class, you’ll develop essential mixology skills in a relaxed and social environment, experiencing the true spirit of Italian aperitivo culture.

Please note: demonstration cocktails may be shared between participants depending on group size.

You will get to make only one cocktail so if you come here for the experience and history of cocktails you will be dissapointed. However you get one spritz, the bartender makes you one cocktail, you make one of your own and then you get a shot. It could be good value for money if you're going to purely drink.

Could not recommend this enough. Me and my partner had the best experience. Very authentic and what made the experience was the staff - the friendliest, most welcoming and engaging people who were passionate about their business and the experience as a whole. Everything from start to finish was an absolute joy. Thank you for making our day that little bit extra special !

We loved our class. Our teacher was really clear, knowledgeable & friendly. The class was a good mix of watching/ listening & doing. We had some delicious nibbles in between too. Whilst this was a gift, it felt like good value.

What an amazing way to spend a couple of hours. The lady that served us was incredible and really made us feel welcome. The cocktails were amazing but was most surprised by how much food we received to go with the drinks. All exceptional quality. Highly recommended.
