Apéritifs—those light, refreshing, and versatile pre-dinner drinks—are often misunderstood or overlooked in favor of wine or cocktails. In this class, we’ll demystify this beloved beverage category by diving into:
-
What exactly is an apéritif? From dry vermouths and sherry to citrus-infused creations, learn what makes an apéritif distinct and delightful.
-
How are they made? From botanical infusions to citrus-forward blends, discover the artistry behind crafting an apéritif.
-
How are apéritifs enjoyed? Explore both the classic European traditions and creative modern twists that make them a versatile addition to any occasion.
-
Why apéritifs are timeless: With their lower alcohol content, bright flavors, and elegant simplicity, apéritifs are perfect for creating a relaxed, intentional drinking experience.
Whether you’re new to apéritifs or already a fan, this class will give you a fresh perspective on how to enjoy these light and lively drinks—and why they deserve a permanent spot in your home bar.
