[foodhackingbase] two workshop/tasting ideas for the camp

[camp.mailing.food at max.holzapfel.io]

Hi,

I'm Touri aka Max from Switzerland. I saw your project on the camp wiki
and would like to contribute with some ideas / workshops / tastings

1) A 101 Cocktail Workshop

Idea:
At the end of the workshop the participants should have a basic
understanding of the different style of Cocktails (Sour Base, Alcohol /
Alcohol base) and should be able to prepare Sours and some derivatives
from Sours (Fizz, New Orleans Sours etc).

I want to keep it fairly simple as I cannot bring too much stuff with me
from Switzerland.

Base Spirits (first Idea):
- Bourbon (or Corn Whiskey)
- Gin
- White Rum (HC3)
- Some Liquers (Chartreuse Green etc.)
- Vermouth

This is a very basic Idea. If we go ahead with the idea I would write a
proper concept with recipes.

The main problems:
 -Ice
- Equipment (I can provide some stuff but I do have contactions to some
Bars in Berlin)
- Spirits are always a bit more pricy. I could only bring some of the
stuff with me from Switzerland.


2) Miracle Berry Tasting 
Miracle Berries change your  taste for sour into sweet. I only tiered it
once but it was rather special. Here are some links:

It is fairly easy to run:
Get some pills and some stuff to taste ;) 
In the beginning I would give short induction to the berry etc. And then
we get into the fun part.

All workshops would be in english (my spoken english is better than my
spelling ;) )

I'm looking forward to your feedback!
