DRINKING SCHOOL: Mexican Cocktail & Appetizer Class

This appetizer drink class was so much fun and we learned a lot! Coty was a great instructor with a lot of background and good stories! We left full and very happy we had booked it!

Coty was an exceptional host and her team was so helpful in keeping the class of nine running smoothly! Her approach to teaching made it easy and enjoyable to learn and she was very personable. She kindly and perfectly accommodated me being a vegetarian. My husband and I both thoroughly enjoyed our Mexican appetizers and cocktail pairings and we will definitely be making them again in the future! Book it, you won't be disappointed😊

A great time learning new recipes and cocktails with a fun and knowledgeable chef! We left 100% satisfied! Chef Coty asked in advance if we wanted to avoid certain foods which was important since I have allergies. She was amazing and we made new friends!

Wonderful experience. The Chef ( Owner of the cooking school) Coti, is delightful. Warm, bubbly and as friendly as can be. Her passion for food and sharing her knowledge is truly inspiring. I can’t wait to get home and start sharing my new recipes and techniques with my friends. She gave us a history lesson about the different types of Mexican cuisine .She definitely should write a book on this subject .
Next time we are in the area, I will definitely sign up for her cooking classes. Truly a highlight of our trip.

Chef Coty is fantastic! We did the appetizer and cocktail class and it was super fun and informative. The recipes were unique and delicious. I highly recommend this class!

This was the best experience! We had a great time! Coty is amazing! We did the cocktail and appetizer class and she made it fun and easy even for someone like me that doesn’t cook much. Everything we made was delicious! If you’re looking for something to do while you’re in Playa this is a MUST!! You will not be disappointed. I can’t wait to take her 3-course meal class.

Chef Coty is amazing! My family of four had a wonderful time at the appetizer and cocktails class. The recipes are unique and creative but not so complicated that you can’t do it at home. We even got printed recipes to take with us! We will definitely be booking another class on our return to Playa del Carmen.

Chef Coty is a sweet and wonderful human being with amazing talent.
She guided us through preparing. three incredible cocktails and three amazing appetizers. We will definitely return to take a more advanced cooking class. We didn’t want the fun to end..

Such a great class! Chef Coty was excellent. The course was organized and so well planned. We made 3 delicious appetizers and the cocktails to pair with the appetizers. Learned some tips to up our entertaining game.

The hibiscus cocktail was delicious and a beautiful red. Love anything hibiscus. I was not a great mojito creater with the tips and recipe she shared, can’t wait to make again at home. I thought I knew how to make simple syrup there is a science to it.

The kitchen is also so well designed for teaching. There were just two couples but she can accommodate more. Definitely recommend signing up for the class. Tip - taxi should be 200-250 pesos from the hotel zone.

We had an amazing experience at Co.Cos "Drinking School". Chef Coty is fun, and a fantastic instructor. Her team keeps everything organized. The appies and cocktails menu was delicious. The kitchen is sparkling and fully equipped. We had a great time and look forward to repeating the recipes at home. We'll be back again when we are back in the Playa area, to experience another Co.Cos culinary experience.

The food was amazing, drinks phenomenal, and world class instruction. Would recommend to any and all

Great activity with you friends and family and additionally a great host . Would recommend to all that is looking for some thing low stress.

My husband, two friends and I did Coty's drinking school last week while visiting Playa del Carmen and had an amazing time! There were about 12 of us in the class and it was fun to meet other people who were traveling.

The drinking school is not super serious as far as intense cooking, but we still learned a lot, and especially enjoyed learning the foundation for cooking three different salsas.

We got to make three fancy drinks that paired with the appetizers we were making and we didn't leave hungry or thirsty ;)

We got to take our recipe booklets home and look forward to recreating the food and drinks back home!

Some practical suggestions for guests attending:
Take a cab, don't drive, so you can enjoy the drinks!
If cabbing from Playa del Carmen try to negotiate to pay about 250 pesos each direction. Coty kindly called a cab to pick us up toward the end of class so we didn't have to worry about scheduling and timing.
We got to eat the most on the last dish (quesadillas topped with the different salsa we made), so we didn't leave hungry, but if you're a big eater consider a snack before you arrive since the appetizers are spread out over 3+ hours of cooking and drinking.

Highly recommend as a fun activity to do if traveling alone or with family or friends!

We had a wonderful time cooking with Cody. What an experience.

Everyone should have this cooking class experience. Worth every penny!

Hope we have the opportunity to do it again some day!
