We loved our cocktail class with Bobby! He was absolutely amazing, and went out of his way to make our evening, especially when he found out it was our honeymoon. The cocktails themselves were really tasty, and different to what I’ve had before outside of the standard espresso martini, so being able to try new things was great. The making of the espresso martini was very fun, and we were talked through every step by Bobby, who was knowledgeable and entertaining in equal measure. We would definitely recommend this experience.
