Become a Cocktail Wizard at Urban Bar HQ
The Shanghai WOW! English department was lucky enough to be invited to the Urban Bar head office to check out their cocktail-making class. We love anything we can write off as ‘team building’ that also allows us to consume booze and hang out, so we skipped down as fast as we could to check it out. And oh boy, is it cool.
Urban Bar are the brains behind the infamous Revolution Cocktail, our favorite bar that regularly sets itself on fire.
Not only do they help people get drunk in style, but they now also teach people how to make the perfect cocktail.
We were greeted at the door with delicious watermelon cocktails that put us all in the best frame of mind to get socializing and making small talk with our peers.
We were then lead into the ‘bar’ area where we were taught how to make three cocktails: their signature Revolution Tikki, a Moscow Mule, and a whiskey sour.
The room before we go in and made a total mess of it.
Concentration at an all-time high.
Learning niche bartender skills
‘How much whiskey is too much whiskey… said no one ever.’
Shake shake, shake shake it, shake it.
Fear in my eyes as I frantically shake, hands burning from the ice cold glass and kind of weirdly out of breath…
Drink poured…
And drink set on fire.
After you make each drink you get to kick back and slowly sip it as the room is prepared for the next cocktail master class. You end up pretty squiffy by the end of it if you finish all your drinks.
All in all, we had the best time ever and are planning on going back for round two.
