You can drink cocktails in plenty of places in Groningen and basically all day long, but getting to work with a shaker yourself is also nice for a change. You can find it all in the city. From crazy experiments to the real classics. Fruity or super strong. The right glass, the precise amounts and the artful preparation - you will learn it all during the workshop. With a fresh homemade drink as a reward for your hard work, of course.
