Naomi did an amazing job teaching this mixology course! I booked this class as a part of a group celebrating a friend's birthday and was unfortunately the last to arrive :( So firstly, I'd like to acknowledge her patience, empathy and understanding regarding the arrival of the class participants as the weather was treacherous due to the hurricane. She was empathic and kind in ensuring that participants were SAFE FIRST and was professional and welcoming when I (and others) arrived late due to the torrential downpours and winds. I've attended other culinary classes where instructors were rude and unwelcoming when participants arrived late and that was not the case with Naomi. Additionally, she provided thorough explanations of how each of the cocktails were to be made, explained the importance of aromatics (which was very beneficial to people like me who've no background in mixology or bartending) and provided easy and memorable cues for making the drinks. Naomi was a gracious host and teacher and she came around to provide us with corrective instructions while also allowing us to enjoy the experience and I appreciated that. She managed the time well but still covered all the material. I would definitely take another class with her and highly recommend her!
