Foursquare Rum Distillery

1 hour 30 minutes

Meet your host Shane and begin your 1.5 hour mixology class with a quick tour of the sugarcane plantation and Foursquare distillery to learn how rum is made from sugarcane; a journey from the field to the table. Next head to the Copper Still bar to create three different cocktails from scratch. Drinks you might learn to create depending on the season are a twist on the traditional Barbadian rum punch, Corn 'n' Oil, a cocktail made with falernum (local sugarcane liqueur) and a cocktail made with Kola tonic, a local drink accented with spices from the Caribbean. Shane is delighted to share the history of the ingredients used in the cocktails and helps you appreciate the tastes and aromas of local Barbadian spirits. Learn about the techniques and tips involved in making and tasting cocktails as you shake your own cocktails with the help of this expert mixologist. Enjoy your cocktails paired with local snacks such as tamarind balls, sugar cake or guava cheese.
