Virtual Cocktail Making Classes

Inspired by the lockdown era, we believe our virtual cocktail classes provide the trademark 100% interactivity expected from a TT Liquor masterclass, as well as providing an environment in which to be sociable despite the current distance between us all.

Our virtual classes will follow a similar structure to our award-winning physical ones, which we’ve been delivering for over a decade. Taking place live via Zoom, your experienced host will begin by outlining some core techniques, before leading you through a number of cocktail creations – giving and receiving feedback as they go. All this will be rounded off with a virtual cocktail making competition, ensuring the experience is as interconnected as possible.

We deliver all the professional kit and ingredients in boxes directly to your door. All you need to provide is the ice, and let us know the date of your preferred session. We'll deliver your class Zoom invitation to you via email on the week of your chosen class.

Our standard kit contains one set of professional equipment, a pre-bottled welcome drink, and all the ingredients required delivered straight to your door. The couples kit contains TWO sets of equipment, two pre-bottled welcome drinks, and all the ingredients required for two servings of each of the three cocktails you'll make on the day. Both of the above, of course, include our award-winning virtual tuition via Zoom as standard.

Our range of public classes take place every other Friday from 6:30pm. If you'd like more information on which specific class type will be running on any specific day, or for any bookings-related queries, please don't hesitate to get in touch with TT Liquor on 02031 312 793.

THE BOX:

Virtual Class Box - Standard kit contains all the professional equipment you'll need to take part (to keep), plus all the ingredients needed for 2x servings of your welcome drink, 2x French Martinis, 2x Apple & Elderflower Juleps & 2x TT Zombies.

STANDARD VIRTUAL CLASS FORMAT:

Booking: Once you purchase your box, the next step is to let TT Liquor know which date suits you best by contacting them via: info@ttliquor.co.uk. Public classes take place every other Friday at 6:30pm.

Delivery & Prep: All the equipment and ingredients required are delivered straight to individual guests' doors a few days prior to your class. The pack also includes guidance on how to set up the bar station and how to make ice at home, which guests ideally need to do in advance.

Class Length & Invitation: On the day of the virtual class, you'll be emailed a Zoom meeting invitation which will include a ‘waiting room’. Once everybody has logged in, your host will kick off the masterclass. Each of our interactive virtual cocktail classes last roughly one and a half hours.

Introduction of Cocktail Class: The virtual host will go around the group to ensure everyone's all set up, before introducing some of the key concepts behind cocktail making. Guests will have pre-batched reception cocktails, which they simply need to pour into a glass with ice to enjoy during the class introduction.

Make a Variety of Cocktails: Once everybody has set themselves up, our host will take the class through each drink one by one whilst guests attempt to recreate them as closely as possible before drinking. In between each cocktail, the host will go around each participant to get feedback on how their creation went.

Competition: To round off the class, each bar will then be pitted against the rest and given 8 minutes to produce their very own cocktail creation, using the ‘mystery ingredients’ included in your pack as well as any garnish guests can find around their house.

DETAILED BOX CONTENTS:
Inside every box, you’ll find all the tools, guidance and ingredients required to embark on a virtual cocktail class with us:

Cocktail Shaker: One of the most important tools in any bartender’s armoury, your cocktail shaker is a crucial component in the creation of many iconic cocktails. You’ll receive a professional-quality Boston-style stainless steel shaker as standard.

Bar Spoon: Inside your box, you’ll also receive a long, flat-ended steel bar spoon – sometimes known as Mazagran spoons – as standard. Crucial in terms of stirring down classic drinks like Negronis and Old Fashioneds.

Jigger/Measure: A really useful little tool, which is key to getting your drinks ratios bang-on. You’ll receive a classic multi-measure jigger in your box.

Strainers: Inside your box, you’ll also find two strainers – a fine strainer and Hawthorne strainer. Your Hawthorne strainer is used to separate large blocks of ice from your drink when pouring, whilst the fine strainer is used to pick up smaller pieces of ice and debris.

Muddler: This is essentially a device used to mash and mix up ingredients. Think mint in a Mojito.

Ingredients: All the high-quality ingredients, including premium spirits, liqueurs, juices, and fresh fruit, are sent out from our specialist liquor store straight to your door.

Guidance: Finally, your box will also contain some in-depth guidance documents, designed to help you get everything ready before your class.
