London, United Kingdom (PressExposure) February 11, 2010 -- The Peacock is Battersea and Clapham Junction London's award winning 2am late night cocktail bar, restaurant & night club venue, but with a twist, combining burlesque and cabaret early evening with retro 70s/80s/90's Djs later on, every Friday & Saturday, to create truly awesome club nights. What we have done is injected a bit of burlesque, cabaret, theatre and inter activity to make an entirely new kind of cocktail lesson specially designed for party groups!
The basic 3 Cocktails Per Person One hour Cocktail Lesson £19 per person
Cocktail Lessons sound too much like hard work - not the way we do it! Our lessons are all about fun. We put you behind the bar and whilst we show you how to make cocktails we much more importantly how to do so in a sexy way with flirting, flair and panache. Oh plus you all get to drink whatever you make too and we / your mates get to score you with specially prepared Peacock score cards..
What cocktails you ask? Well it depends on what you and your friends like so you can choose but we find mojitos, caipirinha, long island iced teas, brambles, cosmopolitan's and sex on the beach are the most popular. They are all double 50cl spirit measures too although we can also teach /make "virgin" alternatives too
We also teach you juggling (subject to your coordination and sobriety) as well as various flirting combinations, techniques and tricks. This includes the infamous "I will make you something special" combined with a hip wiggle, raised eyebrow and hair flick plus great cheesy one liners like "This is Fidel Castro's favorite cocktail" and "Brad and Angelina swear by it"
You will be taught by our most charismatic and good looking mixologists who will be all dressed up in white tie and more than willing to show you all the tricks of the trade not to mention a few things of another kind given half a chance. Remember great cocktail making is as much about attitude and presentation as it is about mixology. This is cocktail making burlesque cabaret style
And to cap it all off we and your friends score you with special cards we give you with comments ranging from "null points" to "you are a sexy beast who makes a mean cocktail" with a lot in between.
To make our lessons really go with a sizzle let us know some embarrassing /funny stories about the hen (and groom too) and other facts -like which girls are game for a laugh and which are single. Then just watch our mixologists work the room! Everyone who completes the course gets a special Peacock Cocktail Award of Merit certificate too
For larger groups over 15 we will split you into Teams taught by two staff with a blind tasting at the end to see just who mixes the meanest cocktails with additional points given for flair and presentation
The special 5 Cocktails per person Two Hour Lesson £30 per person
The two hour course is more structured and you will be tested . Naughty girls not remembering everything may be may be made to wear a dunces hat and if very naughty be canned by our mixoligists turned Head Master.
To break things up we also teach table service burlesque cabaret style so be expected to be shown how to daintly serve cocktails at a low table whilst leaning over saying "Would Sir / Madam like anything else"
