My husband and I attended the Art of Espresso class, and it was an incredible experience! Although the class typically accommodates six to eight people, we lucked out and had a private session for just the two of us. The class began with learning how to craft a traditional espresso martini, which was a lot of fun. From there, we sampled a flight of three additional espresso martinis, each with distinct flavor profiles from different alcohols being added. Our instructor, Patrick, was phenomenal! He was extremely knowledgeable about coffee, the history of espresso martinis, and even shared fascinating details about the Starbucks Reserve Roastery. His passion and expertise truly elevated the experience. If you're a coffee lover or looking for a unique date activity, I highly recommend this class. It's fun, informative, and delicious.
