Malta sits at the crossroads of Mediterranean trade routes; the island’s food culture reflects Sicilian citrus, North African spices, and British-era cocktail habits. Limestone streets and harbour breezes shape when locals dine late; here the tasting mirrors that easy but exacting approach. Geology and climate matter too—Malta’s dry summers and mild winters influence the citrus and herb profiles commonly used in local drinks and confections.
Expect a practical, hands-on session: instructors demonstrate muddling, shaking, and garnishing, then guide timed pairings so you can compare how bitterness, fat, and sweetness interact. Conversation touches on chocolate tempering basics, provenance of ingredients, and how acidity in a cocktail can lift a dark ganache.
