We had heard that this event was more "hands on " and therefore, more fun, than most of the tasting. Fortunately, we were able to get in!
Sidebar - and word to the wise - we (I) made the mistake of following the printed instructions on the Navigator to sign up for beverage events at the Italian-themed bar. Unfortunately, their computer connection was slower than Guest Relations, and on more than one event, between the time he checked availability (yes) and submitted the reservation, we were blocked out. Go to Guest Relations to register if you are serious about wanting to get into these events.
Anyway, that little bit of house keeping aside, here is Damian preparing for the event (and yes, her sure remembered Brenda and Jay from October).
First drink - Mojito - instructions for muddling
Successful delivery of first drink - notice, it is regular size, and we were pouring!
Next drink - something with Captain Morgan spice rum and Midori
Something with sparkling wine
Something with blue
.. and lastly, coffee-based drink
Good times.
- we learned some things
- we got better drinks that I was expecting
- it was fun, well-prepared and well-delivered
- would definitely do it again (and I am not much of a mixed drink person)
- when Damian would mention possible variations - like whipped cream on the coffee drink, we would all chant "whipped cream, whipped cream" - and he would laugh, say "what have I done" and proceed to put whipped cream in all our drinks. Gotta love that!
