2. Cocktails & Tapas

What's better than a class that brings together cocktails and tapas? This class kicks off with a cocktail master class followed by a 2-hour tapas session. Some dishes on the menu? The salmon tartare is accompanied by avocado and lime, with spicy mayonnaise, freshly fried Panko crumbs, chia seeds, and fresh chives, all on a bed of mixed greens. Then, there is confit duck with caramelized onions and Oka cheese on country bread toast. For vegetarian options, there are cauliflower florets served with preserved lemon and paprika-grilled chickpeas. For dessert, you can enjoy Crema Catalana, subtly flavored with lemon zest, cinnamon, and caramelized with brown sugar. Finally, meat lovers can enjoy strips of chicken breast with mushrooms and bacon, topped with a creamy demi-glace infused with rosemary, served with olive oil crostinis.
