Cocktail Making Masterclasses at Eleven Rooftop Bar

Overview

With the festive season just around the corner, many of us are getting the house decked out in glittery splendour and planning what we're going to serve friends and family at the many parties we're hosting or attending.

If you're keen to brush up on your drink-making skills and impress your loved ones, Eleven Rooftop Bar and Grey Goose are hosting a couple of cocktail masterclasses, just in time for the Christmas party onslaught.

Held on two Sundays this December, the two-hour classes will see guests muddling, shaking and pouring five delicious vodka cocktails under the watchful eye of one of Eleven's skilled mixologists.

Participants will learn to master a Le Grand Fizz, Basil Watermelon Smash, Pornstar Martini, Cappuccini and a Silk Road Collins. The latter three all include the limited-edition La Vanille from Grey Goose — a vanilla flavoured vodka that pairs well with the smooth chocolatey flavours of Eleven's version of the espresso martini as it does in the fresh, fruity passionfruit-led Pornstar Martini.

Tickets are $50 and the classes are limited to just ten people each, so you know you'll have plenty of time to chat to the bar staff and perfect your technique — plus you get to drink the concoctions you make. Non-drinkers can be catered for with mocktail options, too.

The masterclasses are part of a summer-long Grey Goose pop-up at Eleven Rooftop Bar that has a French Riviera theme to match its French origins. You can enjoy a sunny afternoon on the rooftop, acting like you're living in a chateux, overlooking Newstead to the CBD. Eleven Rooftop Bar is the only place in Brisbane where you can enjoy the speciality La Vanille, so when you've mastered your drink-making skills, make sure you take advantage of the flavours in one of the cocktails made by an expert.

Grey Goose and Eleven's Cocktail Making Masterclasses will run from midday–2pm on Sunday, December 8, and Sunday, December 15. To book, call Eleven on (07) 3067 7447.
