The art of mixology is about more than combining rum and coke. There’s an element of creativity and craft that every bartender must master to create exquisite drinks, learning how to balance flavours and bring out the best in the ingredients used. It sounds pretty complicated, right? But at UrbanBar, we truly believe that anyone can learn how to mix professional standard drinks, as long as you’re willing to try, try, and try again!

That’s exactly why we created our Educational Spirit Courses. Dive into the world of mixology and become an at-home pro with our lessons.

What Are UrbanBar’s Educational Spirit Courses?

Our courses are designed to help the novice drink maker become the master mixologist. Completely online, we’ve brought in the expertise of globally-recognised, world-champion mixologist Paul Martin to create a range of different lessons you can take part in from the comfort of your home, completely in your own time. Mixology isn’t a craft that sticks to the beaten path, so why should you? 

Each spirit course focuses on teaching you how to craft expert cocktails using different spirits, from gin to vodka. Paul Martin takes you on a journey from the origins of the spirits to how to mix some of the most iconic cocktails in the world. By the time you’ve completed the course, you’ll be able to confidently recommend different cocktails based on taste preferences and mood.
