This is a fun activity in Manchester

Aperitivo is a core principal of Italian bar culture: an aperitivo is a ritual pre-meal drink.
The tradition is meant “to open” the stomach before dining. Accordingly, for centuries Italians have said cheers – cin cin – over drinks and appetisers in the early evening hours between work and dinner, it is also called "happy hours".

During this interactive experience, our skilled bartenders will guide you through the creation of two delicious Italian Aperitivo cocktails for you to taste and enjoy. You'll get to experience the true spirit of Italian bar culture as we delve into the world of aperitivo drinks and appetisers.

The class will begin with a fascinating explanation of the Negroni, Limoncello Bramble, and Espresso Martini, followed by demonstrations and tastings. With the guidance of our experts, you'll have the opportunity to craft your own concoction, experiencing the joy and satisfaction of creating a perfect "aperitivo all'italiana".

But the fun doesn't stop there! Get ready for the grand finale as we let you loose behind the bar to show off your skills. Finish your experience on a high note with a shot of limoncello, truly embracing the spirit of the Italian aperitivo tradition.

Throughout the two-hour class, you can expect an interactive and hands-on experience, immersing yourself in the fundamental styles of cocktail making. We'll provide all the premium ingredients and materials, ensuring you have everything you need to create your own drinkable masterpiece.

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.

Bought this class for my partner for his birthday. When we arrived we were sat on stools at the bar, the restaurant was full and very busy. our ' teacher' was a member of staff who was also working the bar for the full restaurant too. We had three cocktails each made for us that we could choose, it wasnt so much of a class experience rather we were sat at the bar watching. The description reads like its more interactive which it was not. The food was a starter of bruschetta and then a sharing board which included some cheesy chips, arancini and canneloni. I was pretty disappointed with the whole experience as felt it wasnt what was advertised really. The bartender was very nice but did not have the time to do the 'experience' the way it was sold. I wouldnt go back.

What a great find. Sicilian NQ is only a small place but the atmosphere is fantastic and the staff so lovely. They let us choose our cocktails and the charcuterie boards were generously packed with delicious food.

Food was abysmal. Cocktails were repeatedly made incorrectly (IE an April spritz made of 75% soda water, substitutions that meant the cocktail was something else entirely, forgetting to put spirits in them). Food was hot and cold at the same time (as if frozen and microwaved). The olives were nice....

Luna was an absolutely fabulous host. She was chatty and helpful, and really keen to talk us through the cocktails to help us find drinks we loved. The snacks were extensive, and we left feeling fully stuffed. They were very flexible about accomodating our date/time. I would fully recommend this experience
