What is it? A fun and casual cocktail and cooking class for beginners offered by hip home design store and kitchen Jing Republic in collaboration with AskJerry WeChat cocktail recipe and supply platform. The recipes are designed to allow you to prep all you need for the perfect party in less than an hour, and they provide everything you need for the course, from fresh and pantry ingredients to cooking and bartending tools.
What you’ll learn Led by a professional guest bartender and Jing Republic chef, this lively afternoon teaches you to make three simple cocktails and three gourmet tapas dishes at home. You’ll also get a bit of schooling in Booze 101, learning about types of alcohol and distilling processes, tools and tricks of the trade, cooking and mixing techniques, ingredient substitutions, how to liven up basic drinks and more.
What’s on the menu? During our class, we made properly proportioned gin and tonics with our twists of choice (blackberry and thyme, rosemary and peach or orange and juniper); classic piña coladas and frozen Kahlua and espresso frappes.
Working off a light and fresh summer theme, we used smoked salmon, salmon tartar and salmon roe for three different tasty dishes.
