Class Description

Description

Are you a working bartender looking to take your technique and product knowledge to the next level? Are you a cocktail aficionado who wants to learn how the pros make drinks? If you want a rock-solid foundation in the history, science, and skills behind professional mixology, this course is for you.

During the first session, you will learn the traditions and production methods behind each major category of alcoholic beverage (vodka, gin, rum, tequila, whiskey, Bourbon, Scotch, beer, and wine), taste through popular brands, and discuss flavor profiles and common uses.

The very hands-on second session will cover mixing techniques for different types of drinks, recipes for classic and modern cocktails, and give you the opportunity to make drinks under the guidance of Anthony Caporale, producer and host of Art of the Drink TV, the leading web cocktail show, and beverage director for Mesa Grill, Bobby Flay's flagship restaurant. He has been involved in the opening of nine major restaurants in his close to 20 years as bar instructor and bar chef.

You will cover:

Session 1. Product Knowledge.
Alcohol 101---history, properties, and production techniques; history, production, popular brands (tastings), and common drinks for vodka, gin, rum, tequila, whiskey, bourbon, and scotch, beer, and wine.

Session 2. Technique.
  • Bar setup;
  • glassware;
  • pouring;
  • mixing techniques: how to correctly build each type of drink;
  • best practices: service speed and working clean;
  • recipes: practice making popular cocktails (straight and rocks; highballs; juice drinks, multi-liquor drinks; martinis; frozen drinks; pousse-cafés; hot drinks; beer and wine cocktails)

Students enrolling in this class MUST attend the first session of the class in order to participate in the rest of the series. If you are unable to attend the first session, please do not enroll.

Note: We serve wine in our classes. It is against our policy for guests to bring in any type of alcoholic beverages.

Refund Policy

CANCELLATION/REFUND POLICY

To register for any class, payment in full is required at the time of registration. Two weeks withdrawal notice is required for a refund (excluding gift certificates); but please note a transaction fee will be deducted from the refund for each and every class seat registration that is canceled by the registrant/student based on the following scale: 

classes up to $125 will incur a $20 fee 

classes in the $126-$350 range will have a $30 fee

classes valued over $351 will incur a $50 fee.

When a class is dropped 3-13 days prior to the start date, only school class credit will be issued, and the corresponding transaction fee will be deducted (see above).

Rescheduling a class still entails a cancellation and, therefore, a transaction fee will still be charged to customers.

There are no refunds or school credit issued when fewer than 48-hour notice from the class start date is given.

Students must attend the first class in a series. Students may make up missed classes in any Techniques series or Wine Essentials course without charge after attending the first lesson. Techniques make-up classes are available on a limited basis and must be arranged with ICE’s Guest Relations Manager. All make-up classes are subject to availability. Missed make-up classes cannot be rescheduled.

Gift certificates are not refundable, but may be transferred to another person.

Cancellation and Other Policies

The Institute of Culinary Education reserves the right to cancel any class that fails to attract sufficient enrollment. In case of cancellation, all students will be notified and a full refund will be given. Students traveling to ICE from outside the New York metropolitan area should confirm their class registration(s) before finalizing travel arrangements. In order to minimize class interruptions, ICE maintains the right to deny student registration and/or entrance if more than 10 minutes late.

In any event where a customer wants to cancel their enrollment and is eligible for a full refund, a 5% processing fee will be deducted from the refund amount.
