St James’s London presents an annual calendar of One of a Kind Masterclasses. Guests are given the opportunity to learn a variety of skills and crafts from food and drink experiences to art and textile practices - discover culinary talents, artistic insights and secret design skills in the heart of the West End.

This October, DUKES invites you to discover the history behind both their signature martini and their ‘Vesper’. The masterclass will be led by Alessandro Palazzi, DUKES’ legendary Master Bartender. During the evening, guests will be introduced to the martini form, then allowed to sample a selection of spirits and vermouth, and learn what makes the perfect garnish. And of course, no martini masterclass would be complete without the chance to taste the delicious drinks.

The masterclass will be held on the 19th of October between 3pm and 5pm.

There are only eight spaces available for this masterclass. Tickets are priced at £125 per person. For bookings or more information, please contact DUKES LONDON’s Events Coordinator, Nil Rokun Momotaz at events@dukeshotel.com or on +44 (0)20 7318 6574
