Copenhagen Distillery has a dedicated and nerdy staff, and we celebrate this with a series of top specialist cocktail masterclasses. So hurry to buy a ticket, the groups are small and the level will be towering. Each month, one of our expert bartenders selects an exciting theme and presents recipes, techniques and not least robbery stories that unfold a very specific corner of the cocktail universe. There will be plenty to learn for both the all-green home bartenders and all those who think they already know it all. This March, we'll be spotlighting the complicated and sometimes opaque relationships that define and separate Fizz, Collins and Sour cocktails. Bartender and whiskey producer Niki Fribert Lauridsen takes us by the hand and guides. What are the differences exactly? Where do the different drinks actually come from? And how do you make the right foam on your whiskey sour? That and much more will be answered, while of course we also review the very basic techniques and principles that apply to cocktails in general. The April course is all about Martinis in the company of our development manager and cocktail book author Sune Urth. New Year's is around the corner, and what's more festive than a Dry Martini. Join the workshop as we dive into the history of martinis. We will talk about vermouth, stirring techniques, Zen Buddhism, microcollapse and a little about James Bond. It's going to be geeky, it's going to be gin-heavy, and it's definitely going to be festive. Then comes May - it's almost summer, and what could be better than diving with our Assistant Manager Jasmin into the funny story of Daisy. The idea of replacing sugar with a fruit liqueur in a sour one, forms the basis of many recipes we today consider classics. It will be light, it will be fruity, and it will be a little pink, she has promised. After the course you can continue exploring the different flavours in Copenhagen Distillery's cocktail bar, where you can linger for drinks and cosy gatherings.

Cocktail course at Copenhagen Distillery

Come join us in the magic workshop, where the bottles with colored contents in golden hues, are lined up behind the bar, and where the master stirs and shakes, like the most natural thing in the world. How does one really know which cocktails to stir and which ones to shake? And is it really true that the glass has a purpose or that Gin & Tonic is an artform? Step into a world seething with fizzes and sours. After the course, you can continue to explore the different tastes of Copenhagen Distillery's cocktail bar, where you can hang out for drinks and good times.

FOOD PAIRINGS - Akvavit and Smørrebrød

Smørrebrød and aquavit go together like horse and carriage. Every Saturday at 1pm Copenhagen Distillery and Folkets Madhus serve lunch, where the handmade pieces are paired with each their own specially selected aquavit. Along the way, your host will talk about cultural history, craft, traditions and the science behind a good pairing of food and spirits. For many years the aquavit was allowed to play second fiddle in the Danish lunch. It had it's place, but preferably ice cold so you wouldn't have to think about it. At Copenhagen Distillery we love good taste, and a lunch with us, is therefore a journey through the different typical styles of aquavit, and completely new modern interpretations. The aquavit is tempered and served with care and respect. Folkets Madhus stands for craftsmanship, quality and good taste. From the matured pickled herring to the handmade beef sausage and home-breaded dressings, every detail is thought through.

The host on the day is one of our very experienced colleagues who have both knowledge and practical experience in the production of our whisky — and whisky in general. Copenhagen Distillery was started as a whisky distillery and in February 2020 the first drops hit the streets and was immediately named Danish Whiskey of The Year in Jim Murray's Whisky Bible. Now they are ready to present the whole family, and what a family. One of the distillery's experienced whisky employees welcomes and shows you around the factory, between copper kettles, fermentation vats and whiskey barrels. After that, you will be benched, and have to taste everything from the completely freshly distilled drops to bottled ready-made whiskies. There will be bread and mouth cleaners along the way so that the taste buds are kept crisp. Subsequently, both bar and shop are open, where there will also be an opportunity to purchase the distillery's whisky's, gins or Aquavits. In addition, it will be possible to buy a taster of Danish Whisky of the Year 2021; our First Edition. But only as long as stock is held.
