Premium spirit brands, Villa Ascenti gin, Belsazar vermouth, Ketel One Vodka, Bulleit Frontier Whiskey and Johnnie Walker have introduced a series of virtual cocktail masterclasses, designed to be enjoyed in the comforts of your own home. Recently launched, selected brand ambassadors will take over the World Class GB’s social media pages – so whether you’re with your family or housemates you can come together in spirit, even when apart.
Each day, the chosen spirit masterminds will take turns to host three workshops, showcasing unique cocktail recipes and tips, using everyday ingredients found at home. Aside from perfecting mixology skills, those tuned in will also learn how to craft delicious homemade syrups, citrusy cordials and lots more.
Jason Clark, World Class and Talisker GB Brand Ambassador, said: “Our team of GB Brand Ambassadors are usually out and about. Faced with this unusual amount of time at home, we wanted to put this time to good use and reach out to people at home and the bartending community to inspire and educate, so that people can stay in touch on social media and learn new skills. A few of the team have some extra skills up their sleeve too – so you might see some added content away from the usual cocktail videos, to keep everyone entertained. We’re all in this together!”
The series of virtual masterclasses will be on at 1.00pm, 3.00pm and 5.00pm each day, featuring Kirsten Jarin of Bulleit Frontier Whiskey, Christie Knight of Villa Ascenti gin, Adam McGurk of Belsazar vermouth, Kate Jackson of Ketel One vodka and Ali Reynolds of Johnnie Walker. Kicking off the video series was Jason Clark, Brand Ambassador for Talisker, on Facebook, demonstrating how to craft a ‘Forager’s Cordini’ – a versatile sweet, sour and herbal cordial, ideal to use in highballs and sours. In addition, Jason showed viewers how to make a ‘Talisker Old Fashioned’, using cupboard staples, such as marmalade or golden syrup.
