Chris Tunstall

“I started bartending because I fell in love with the craft of the cocktail and got so much satisfaction from making a great drink. But when I started trying to design my own cocktails, I struggled to find great resources to help me learn all the info I needed to make great drinks.

It took years to teach myself – but it was worth it. I’ve had opportunities to design cocktail menus, work with brands, and consult for bars and restaurants all over the world.

Now I’ve built this program to share what I’ve learned so you can get all the info in one place and enter the world of craft cocktails. Whether you have some experience already or not, you'll learn how to build your skills and gain confidence in making your own amazing drinks.” - Chris

Refreshing

I took the home bartending class not know what to expect., not only do they teach you how to make a cocktail but they also give you the history behind the drink. I will be signing up for all the other classes until I get my mixology certification. They are always reaching out and making sure everything is good. I would recommend this class to everyone that wants to start making great cocktails.

I learned more than expected

I am not a bartender, but wanted to understand the nuance of making drinks. This course was just what I needed. It provided the basics BUT then got into why something changes a drink. I took the quizzes, did well on some failed others 🫩 but took it seriously. At the end, when they have you make your own drink, was difficult but fun. I learned to create starting from a base and slowly adding ingredients. I failed a few times (wasting precious alcohol) but was able to recover with the lessons learned. I created a drink which I never expected but now anytime someone comes over they ask for that drink. Others I simply have to ask them what their base alcohol is and I can come up with something unique.

Don your drink looks delicious! I'm so glad you enjoyed the course. Wishing you many more delicious drinks to come!

Excellent! Very easy-to-follow explainations!

Highly recommend for anyone in the industry starting out or an at-home cook ready to build their drink portfolio. You will add lots of value to your bartending skills with their course!
