Cocktail tastings and flight experiences
Cocktail flights and tasting menus let you sample a bartender’s range or explore variations on a theme. Many craft bars and upscale lounges provide curated tasting experiences.
What to expect:
- Multi-drink flights focused on spirit type or seasonal ingredients.
- Pairings with small plates or palate cleansers.
- Guided tastings where bartenders explain choices and techniques.
How to find them:
- Check bar menus online for “tasting course,” “flight,” or “pairing” options.
- Reserve ahead and specify interest in a tasting to ensure availability.
- Hotel bars and cocktail-forward venues often feature structured menus.
Visiting tip:
- Tasting courses can be more expensive but offer a comprehensive view of a bar’s style. They work well for both enthusiasts and newcomers who want a guided exploration.
