Andrea will welcome you in the bar-school where he teaches. In reality, it is much more than just a bar and also much more than a bartending school: this is Bari's temple of mixology and drink world. Its atmosphere is unique, decorated with real works of art, and you will be surprised to discover the fascinating secret bar where the experience takes place.

At the beginning of the cocktail making experience, Andrea will tell you about the evolution of his career as a bartender and explain the history of Italian-style aperitif cocktails such as the Spritz, the Americano and the Negroni. He will then show you the ingredients that you will use together to prepare the cocktails.

Next, getting to the heart of the experience, Andrea will guide you through the preparation of two cocktails using professional equipment. You will start with a classic aperitif cocktail such as the Spritz. Then, you will be able to unleash your creativity, inventing your own recipe from selected, local ingredients, or you will be able to prepare another classic cocktail. This way you will learn recipes for drinks that you can repeat to your friends at home!

Finally, while you continue savouring your cocktails, you will enjoy the magics of a typical Apulian aperitif based on typical products such as focaccia and friselle with sottoli (pickled vegetables). Here, you will have time to chat with Andrea to ask him all the questions you want to learn more about his storey as a bartender and his passion for spirits.
