You step into a bright concept store in Larnaca's old town and the city slips into the background: citrus and sea salt ride the air while a long bar of stainless steel waits. Hosts greet you with a cool welcome drink, a short orientation, and a stack of cocktail tools. Over the next three hours you move from classic cocktail technique to local flavours—zivania’s sharp warmth, and the sun-loaded sweetness of Commandaria—shaking, stirring, tasting.

Cyprus has been a crossroads of trade for millennia; its wines and spirits carry that history. Commandaria is one of the world’s oldest named wines, produced on sun-baked slopes and traded since medieval times. Zivania is a Cypriot pomace spirit with rural roots in village distilleries. The class pairs mixology basics (measure, muddle, balance) with these regional ingredients, giving cultural context as you work.
Practical notes: the session runs about 2–3 hours, all ingredients and equipment are provided, and participants leave with a certificate and tasters of everything they make. Expect standing work at a bar, close group instruction, and small nibbles between pours.
Plan your visit for late afternoon to combine a coastal stroll with the class. Bring a valid ID for alcohol service, note any allergies in advance, and be ready to take notes — recipes are often shared. The experience is part tasting, part hands-on training, and fully local: a compact, social way to learn mixology through Cypriot flavours.
