Being the great friend I am, for my best friend’s birthday I decided to treat her to a cocktail master class! We both love to drink and what better way to celebrate her day of birth than by having a girly day and learning to make some cool drinks!
Preparation is the key, so before we headed to our class we stopped by The Alchemist in Trinity for a cheeky drink! I opted for a passion fruit daiquiri, and Katie chose the bubble gum!
Passion and bubbles!
We headed on down to Bibi’s, an Italian restaurant isn’t your obvious choice for a cocktail master class, most of the other options in Leeds require a party of at least 6 people.
Being sensible and lining our stomachs before the class, we decided to sample some Italian cuisine. I opted for the spaghetti alla pescatora, I am a massive seafood fan!
I love the novelty plate!
Now for the important bit, the cocktails! I requested rum based cocktails as Katie loves Malibu, we started with an Airmail, rum and honey topped with Prosecco.
Then we watched our teacher for the evening Tom make a Mai Tai, there’s so many different ways to make them! After the demonstration we each took it in turns to make our own. Mine was apparently closer to the original recipe but Katie’s was boozier so she won!
Our mai tai’s!
Next was a classic Pina Colada…
The class was great and as there was only us Tom let us take a few pictures behind the bar, plus we got to share the example cocktails!
Look at all that rum!
Even though we had all that alcohol we couldn’t resist one more!
