Programme Overview
Highlights
What is Mixology? Mixology is a term for mixing drinks or bartending, and a mixologist is a title for a bartender or bar chef. Thus, mixology is about the art and craft of mixing drinks and the mixologist is the professional who practises it.
This programme is designed to provide a sound introduction to mixology and it is suitable for those who are interested to broaden their cocktail knowledge and the craft of cocktail. Students will be introduced to the main styles and categories of cocktails, spirits, liqueurs and their defining characteristics, as well as the classic and modern cocktail recipes. Through demonstrations and self-practice, students can choose appropriate bar tools, garnishes, and ingredients to craft their own cocktails in classes and eventually enhance their cocktail crafting techniques. A bar visit in the hotel will be arranged to get students familiar with the real operating environment of a bar. Thus, this programme prepares students to develop their interests to be mixologists for both social and work purposes.
INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES
On completion of the programme, students should be able to:
1. List the principal styles and categories of cocktails and describe their defining characteristics and flavour profiles;
2. Describe the historical background and development of cocktails, cocktail presentation and bar categories;
3. Distinguish the essential ingredients of cocktail making, including spirits, liqueurs and aromatized wines; and describe their key characteristics;
4. Identify the common bar equipment and tools used in crafting cocktails and servicing of drinks; and
5. Explain and demonstrate how the key types of cocktails are made, using basic techniques, essential ingredients, and garnishes.

2. A unique site visit to a Cocktail Bar, allowing students to have direct and first-hand experience inside the Bar, and have the opportunity to blend and craft their own cocktail!
3. Our mixology course is taught by qualified professional who is knowledgeable in cocktail around the world.

5. Small class-size in this mixology program brings about better teaching and learning, and enhances teacher-student interaction.
