Do you secretly have dreams of being able to shake up a margarita like Tom Cruise in Cocktail? Or make the perfect dirty martini? This is absolutely the class for you! Booze School: Old Young’s Cocktail Class! is everything it says on the box. A member of the team from the Swan Valley based distillery teaches you how to make a delectable cocktail using their hand crafted spirits in a fun, interactive class.

On arrival, Pat, the Head Bartender from Old Young’s Kitchen, presented us with a delicious welcome cocktail and we knew it was going to be a tasty class! Pat is fun and has the most fabulous hair, but once that cocktail hit my lips I was hooked and couldn’t wait to get into it.

Our ‘substitute teacher’, Timmy K (aka Prof T) was cheerful and charismatic with his charming English accent. Tim is the Head Distiller at Old Young’s Distillery, so it was more like being taught by the Principal than a sub! You’re in good hands as he explains the history of the cocktail without skipping a beat, makes a traditional version for the whole class to taste, and then walks you through how to make a sexed up version by yourself.

Booze School is an easy and fun way to spice up a night out at FRINGE WORLD Festival and with intimate classes this is the best way to learn a new skill in an easygoing, playful setting. The best part? You get to take your delightful concoction with you at the end!
