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.

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.

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.
