This course is more about cocktails making tutorial rather than learning to built a cocktail according to flavor pairings, You could easily skip all the videos and only use the recipe pdf Also too many repetitions! The tutor always keep saying the same thing ! Nice cocktails though !

This course is mainly about ten classic cocktails modified with creative syrups, shrubs and cordials. I hoped to get a broader introduction to finding and combining flavour pairings. Hardeep gives a simple template choosing your pairing by colour and always explains why he uses which ingredients. Still I feel like he created a fait accompli. The course was still fun but not that challenging.

it's not very interactive and the first few videos were quite pointless.. the receipt book to make this as seem as a course it's a piss take .. they're just recipes it should have some tutorial on how to prepare the syrups and the cocktails but i do like the instructor but i definitely don't care what his favorite movies are.. Overall so far not great but not bad

I enjoy it a lot ! There is a lot of knowledge to acquire to this curse. I just didn't understand why the teacher don't always tell us about the volume he pout one his shrub or cordial. For example the Camomille shrub, he just put the vinegar but don't tell us the amount of volume. It's a lille bit confusing if you want to recreate this Incredible cocktail.
