Afloat in the Caribbean Sea some 15 miles off the coast of South America and 4,900 miles from Amsterdam, the Dutch isle of Aruba basks in the culinary heritage and influences of all three cultures.

By the end of the session, not only will you have savored the two drinks and two tasty treats you’ve crafted, but you’ll have gained practical skills sure to elevate your bartending and cooking game back at home. And perhaps introduce an unmistakable hint of Aruba to your everyday menu.
