Cocktail Workshop Bols Experience in Amsterdam

I enjoyed my experience, I would recommend tour was interesting. First cocktail I enjoyed- I don't normally drink cocktails, left the decision to the staff, they made a good choice and had fun making 2 further cocktails

I had honestly forgot this included the Bols Museum/Experience as well as the cocktial making class, so that was a nice surprise. It felt a little bit like the Johnnie Walker Scotch experience (if you've been), in that it was partly interactive, allowing you to do a "sensory" room and smell many different ingredients, which made it fun. At the end, you get a drink and then, during the cocktail making course, you make two more. So definitely don't arrive on an empty stomach, ha. It was interesting to hear the history of J/Genever, as I had honestly not heard about it until coming here (and I am a big cocktail person). Jennifer was our bartender and she was fanstastic, being patient and kind when half the class did not follow instructions correctly, and making sure everyone had a great time. I have been to other places throughout europe that do a "cocktail making course" and those have been pretty "meh" - often times just replicating a few drinks from "Sex and the City;" this felt like a unique experience using unique ingredients, so it was a lot more fun.

We went in for the experience but, upgraded to the workshop. The experience is very cool and well worth the hour or so spent on it. Lots of things to see and do. The cocktails in the bar after were perfect of course. The workshop was lead by a great bartender who showed us how to make a great cocktail and gave us some info on how to personalise the drinks. Highly recommend!
