Mix Masters Cocktail Making Evening

Our long-awaited Big Blind, Mix Masters cocktail night, with cocktail extraordinaire’s Sven and Daniel from Behind Bars, happened this past Thursday, and an amazing, slightly rowdy and incredibly memorable time was to be had by all!

Have you ever looked on in awe as your favourite bartender concocted the perfect martini? 14 lucky daters got the chance to learn how at this intimate cocktail making class at Behind Bars. There really is no better way to get to know each other than over a luscious shared cocktail.

The evening began at the Behind Bars ‘office’ in Darlinghurst, everyone entered Sven’s (Australia’s cocktail man) dimly lit, elegant cocktail den, with walls covered in exotic liquors and antique cocktail shakers. Cocktail enthusiasts got taken through the collection (and some very exclusive tastings…!) by Sven and Daniel while awaiting the arrival of the rest of the guests. The collection included exotic bourbons, vodkas and more - each one with a personal story of how it got to Sydney…but those details shall remain undocumented!

The sassy females where all set up at a sophisticated cocktail station, while the men moved stations, each couple creating a delicious cocktail and chatting with 7 amazing dates. Throughout the class techniques for making all sorts of cocktails where taught, including mojitos, cosmopolitans and one’s we have no recollection of…which is why the cocktail recipe book you get from Behind Bars comes in handy.

After the class had finished, conversation flowed freely as daters munched on canapes and enjoyed more of their own custom made cocktails and each others company. The night was a great success with some amazing feedback and a 95% match rate - definitely an event that is ideal for meeting and getting to know some really great people!

Hope to see you at the next one!
