LIQUID INTELLECT: TEA AND MIXOLOGY MASTERCLASS

PRESENTED BY WILLIAM MUSGRAVE

This one day course is designed to introduce and develop the key theories, skills and techniques of mixology. Your pre-existing industry knowledge will now be taken into the world of cocktail bartending – enriched with the same vast history, meticulous approaches and manifold applications as the world of tea. You will learn, debate, create and taste from a menu of exquisite cocktails, then go onto developing your skills by creating your own signature serves. You will infuse, extract, pour, stir, shake and strain. You will get your hands dirty. With practical workshops, demonstrations, games and tastings designed to push you to your limits, join us for a thought-provoking and immersive experience in how to best apply the power of tea to the science of mixology.

ABOUT WILLIAM MUSGRAVE

William's story and timeline of experience is as diverse as it is unorthodox – from head bartender in trend-setting dive bars in central London, to bar consultant for luxury hotel groups. His style of consultancy is centred on the definition of the consummate bartender – one who amalgamates the literary, historical and scientific approaches to create both an immersive and educative learning experience.

His results speak for themselves; as head trainer for an internationally renowned bar school he trained over 500 bartenders from over 30 countries and has a 100% pass rate, with over 70% of his students achieving Distinction or Honours grades; and as a consultant has designed multiple bespoke training programmes for international spirit brands and has been elemental in the creative development of cocktail menus at the highest level.
