Last Thursday 18th July, the staff at our restaurant had the incredible opportunity to participate in a cocktail-making training session hosted by Whatahoot Distillery. This event was part of our ongoing commitment to enhancing our team’s skills and delivering exceptional experiences to our guests. The session was both educational and entertaining, providing our staff with new techniques and a deeper understanding of crafting the perfect cocktail.
Cocktail Training with Whatahoot Distillery
Whatahoot Distillery, renowned for its premium spirits, brought its expertise to our restaurant, guiding our team through the art of cocktail making. The training session was a hands-on experience where our staff learned to mix, shake, and stir a variety of cocktails using Whatahoot’s exquisite range of gins. The focus was on mastering the basics of mixology and experimenting with different flavour profiles to create unique and delicious drinks.
Highlights of the Training Session:
- Interactive Learning: Our staff engaged in practical exercises, creating classic cocktails and inventing new ones under the guidance of Whatahoot’s expert mixologists.
- Ingredient Knowledge: Understanding the unique characteristics of Whatahoot’s gins, such as the Signature Dry Gin’s crisp taste, the Tawny Orange Gin’s zesty notes, and the Hooting Owl Gin’s aromatic spices.
- Skill Development: Enhancing skills in garnishing, presentation, and balancing flavours to craft visually appealing and delightful cocktails.
The training session not only boosted our team’s confidence but also ensured that our guests would enjoy expertly crafted cocktails every time they visited.
