Cocktail Masterclass and bloggers lunch at Revolution Aberdeen

Hello again,

This post is a little late going up but better late than never, a few weekends ago I was invited along to experience a Cocktail Masterclass and sample the new food menu at one of Aberdeen's coolest bar and restaurant, Revolution. I used to spend many a Friday and Saturday night in Revolution working through their shot menu (ah the good old days) but I haven't been there in so long so I was really looking forward to going along and giving it a try, so have a look and see how I got on.

We were all around the upstairs bar and we were given he cocktail menu to choose a cocktail to make and there were so many choices - everything from gin and juice, pin colada's to pornstar martinis! As I have a sweet tooth I was stuck between a cherry woo woo which is topped with strawberry laces and a bubblegum daiquiri but in the end the bubblegum daiquiri won! 

I was the first person to go up and make my cocktail and our barman took me through all the steps of making my daiquiri and it was really fun! I found out that the measures are really important but I think I may have went a little overboard in some of mine - but oh well the more the merrier (and merry I was).

After the measuring and the blitzing my cocktail was complete and it was even topped off with some flying saucers - it tasted great!

Here are a few cocktails the others made.

After everyone had made their cocktail of choice we moved downstairs to the beautiful terrace, they've recently had a refurb and it's all decorated as a garden, it'll be the ideal spot in Aberdeen to go in the summer! 

Then the feast happened, tray after tray after tray of food came out and it was amazing! There was a selection of burgers including cheeseburgers, blackened chicken which was my favourite but there was one that got everyone talking and that was the smokin' bacon burgers which was a beef burger topped with smoke cheddar, chorizo ketchup, smokinaise onion rings and wotsits - yes wotsits, the crisps - strangely enough they were so tasty!

A few other things that I tried were their fish finger sandwiches (a classic but a goodie), the chicken goujons, sweet potato fries and their stone baked pizzas which are so damn good!

Revolution used to be the place I would go for a great night out (you should really try their shots) and now it's one of my favourites places to go for a meal! So if you're looking for somewhere in Aberdeen to go for a drink and/or some food you should head straight there, great music (sometimes live) great drinks, great food and great staff.
