What is Mixology? Mixology is a term for mixing drinks or bartending, and a mixologist is a title for a bartender or bar chef. Thus, mixology is about the art and craft of mixing drinks and the mixologist is the professional who practises it.

Students will be introduced to the main styles and categories of cocktails, spirits, liqueurs and their defining characteristics, as well as the classic and modern cocktail recipes. Through demonstrations and self-practice, students can choose appropriate bar tools, garnishes, and ingredients to craft their own cocktails in classes and eventually enhance their cocktail crafting techniques. A bar visit in the hotel will be arranged to get students familiar with the real operating environment of a bar.

The bar industry has changed so much in the last 150 years; there was a time in history when it was illegal for women to sit at a bar, let alone work behind the stick. Thanks to the many men and women who have shaped how we drink today, women can enjoy their favourite tipple anywhere and everywhere and excel in a career behind the bar.
We're celebrating International Women's Day, and we'd like to give the spotlight to the female tipple makers in Hong Kong's prosperous cocktail industry. Get to know the women who work hard behind the stick to bring you your favourite drinks.
Victoria is known in Hong Kong as one of the game-changers in the local bar scene. Having been recognized for her pioneering approach to drinking concepts, she became part of Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia. In 2014, she founded The Woods, one of the first bars of its kind in the heart of SoHo. The place offered cocktail tasting menus and drink pairings. Today, the concept has evolved from a brick and mortar cocktail bar to a monthly pop-up concept, catering service, and also extending the services to The Woods Annex, a private tasting library where people can taste over 400 bottles of spirits from Victoria's collection.
"Wines were my first love from a young age when my dad would bring me to Napa Valley while we were living in California," she shares. "My interests grew to include craft beers in college when I lived near a craft brewery. When I came back to Hong Kong, and while I was working at an events agency, I continued to study wines through the WSET program," she adds. Victoria was fascinated by the 'spirits' portion of the WSET syllabus and noticed a lack of artisanal cocktail bars in town, and this drove her to create the beginnings of The Woods.
Natalie always dreamt about working overseas. She then started thinking of the kind of jobs that would allow her to achieve her goal, and she thought bartending might do the trick. "I started in Aqua Spirit in Tsim Tsa Tsui with zero experience, but the bar industry is great. Colleagues in the industry teach you new things every day!" After her first bartending gig, she moved and worked in London for a while. In 2018, she worked as the bar manager of The Old Man HK. "I love that being a bartender makes me feel young," she shares. "Every day, we grow by learning, and we meet different people that inspire you in different ways."
She is continuously inspired by Roman Ghale, one of the founders of The Old Man. "My 'people skills' comes from Roman," she says. "The ways he treats staff and greets guests and friends, the ways he makes a boring story into an interesting one, he never teaches you, he shows you!"
