Get the gals together, get your dresses on and let’s party!! I have to say the Cocktail Making Lesson is the most fun I’ve had in ages - it’s perfect for hen parties, team building days, birthday parties or a girl’s night out! It’s very informal, you will NOT learn about the history of cocktail making but you WILL have great craic!!!!
As the organiser of the cocktail making lessons in Buskers Bar, it was only right that I should test it out and see what’s involved….sure it would be rude not to!!! So I gathered the girls together and we made a night of it.
Buskers has a big main bar and then a smaller stylish cocktail bar at the front which was reserved for the 7 of us. On arrival the handsome bartender Paul, greeted us with a charming smile and a wink that had us swooning off our bar stools! We then took our seats in front of the bar and Paul expertly lined up the shots! I’m not a big fan of shots (bad memories of too many Tequilas in days gone by!!) but I decided on the ‘Banana Pudding’ shot which was yum, yum, yum!! The ‘Baby Guinness’ shots were very popular with us too.
I chose a ‘Strawberry Daiquiri’ to drink while the lesson was going on as I had already decided that I wanted to learn how to make a Mojito – my favourite cocktail!!! While Paul and another bartender made up our cocktails the cheesy girly tunes were getting us in the party mood! When we were all served up cocktails it was time to get going on the lesson. We each got a chance to go behind the bar as Paul personally guided us through what is involved in making our favourite cocktails. I made a good hand of muddling the limes and mint leaves….helped on by the cheering of the other girls! But it has to be said that the secret of a great Mojito is Rum, Rum and more Rum!!!
As the lesson finished up we were all nicely merry with belly’s full of cocktails…..Tom Cruise eat your heart out!!!
