Shake things up with tasty cocktails

What’s not to love about cocktails? They’re delicious, beautiful to look at, and so fun to make. That’s what makes cocktail classes such a good experience for couples! Planning a date night in Sydney? Get involved in a cocktail and dumpling cooking class in Potts Point to make your own dinner and drinks, and have as much fun as Tim K. did with his wife!

“So, it seems that my wife and I are kind of dumpling connoisseurs. We've loved many of them over the years from a variety of restaurants (Chinatown, I hear you calling!!). But wait....travel a little further afield to the not-so-mean streets of Potts Point and try the wonderful cocktail and dumpling making class! We wanted something challenging, and this was it (but not too challenging). 

This class was just the tonic for our wedding anniversary. A little adventure and creativity on a Friday night. The teacher was informative and entertaining (G., we know you are listening). The handmade dumplings were divine (and very personal), and all washed down with our own hand-created cocktails. Does it get any better?

Highly recommended.”

Impress each other with your newfound skills and try out something new and exciting that you will both cherish for a long time! From indulgent espresso martinis to zesty mojitos, you and your partner can learn from the best mixologists around Australia, and take some tips and tricks home for entertaining friends.
