Latin. Calculus. Fencing.

Not all those essential skills you picked up in school have turned out useful.

If you’re looking to further your education, here’s a class you won’t want to miss: Giuliano Morandin, bar manager at The Dorchester for more than 30 years, is offering private or group (up to five people) mixology lessons behind the bar of the legendary five-star hotel.

Learn to make the cocktail, mocktail or martini of your choice in just two hours, then concoct your own drink using your favourite ingredients. Give it a name and the bar will put it on the menu for the rest of the day.

Classy — right?
