WHITE LIGHT MASTERCLASS
Cocktail Tips and Tricks: Luna Hueca Tequila, White Light Vodka, and Triple G Gin.

Have you ever thought… How does your favourite bar make the Margarita taste like that? How can I elevate my Friday afternoon Martini's with my partner? Why don’t I like Vodka unless it's in an Espresso Martini? Well… We have all of these answers and more coming your way in our Melbourne Gin Festival Masterclass!

We want to walk you through how to get the best out of these spirits with helpful industry tips and tricks based around the classic cocktails associated with each spirit, while also trying to introduce you to some fun new cocktail ideas along the way! Each customer will be given samples of three cocktails made during the class.
