Astor House aims to offer cocktail classes on a monthly basis, and past cocktail classes have covered how to make a proper mint julep, a heated Manhattan, and a Pimms cup. Each class includes five cocktails, generally tied together with a theme: whisky, gin, etc.
In a class of up to 15 people, guests learn to mix classic cocktails with contemporary ones, as well as discover the history and importance of method behind each drink; which for Blaise Faber, is crucial:
"People leave learning stirring does indeed change the drink, over shaking - thanks a lot, Mr. Bond! I shouldn't muddle mint in my julep? No, sir. We make so many things in small batches - bitters, cordials, liqueurs, infusions and more - by hand, at Astor / Tuck [Shop], and people still don't know that, but it makes for an explosively tasty drink."
