Bartenders endure economic slumps better than nearly any other profession, bested only by economic experts who interpret economic slumps on the bar TV. Step on the path to fiscal solvency with today's Groupon: for $59, you get a four-hour bartending class at Cleveland Bartending School in Cleveland Heights. Classes are from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Today's deal lets you enroll in one of the following classes:
- Martinis and Manhattans: covers cosmopolitans, apple and chocolate martinis, and other drinks
- Tropical Drinks: covers long island iced teas, mojitos, mai tais, and other drinks
- Shooters and Party Drinks: covers shots such as the washington apple, B52, sex on the beach, and purple hooter
- Margaritas and Sours: covers mixing drinks with 1800, Jose Cuervo, and blue tequilas
Cleveland Bartending School teaches would-be suds-slingers and mad-scientist mixologists not only how to pour the perfect drink, but also how to maintain the social center of any bar and make patrons feel at home. Whether celebrating a girls’ day out, an ice-breaking first date, or an excuse to air out antique-shot-glass collections, classes join together 6–15 people in a simulated bar equipped with the latest Wunder-Bar soda-gun systems, three-compartment sinks, stainless-steel ice bins, mixers, professional glassware, and liquor speed racks. A working tap allows training to incorporate the Anheuser-Busch and Guinness beer curriculum. Each class is divided between 25% lecture time and 75% practice time, ensuring that students get plenty of hands-on experience after instructors demonstrate how to make each libation and use it most effectively as fuel for fire-eating. Class time also includes role playing and simulated happy hours to hone speed, increase efficiency, and unlock the ability to juggle six cocktail onions at once.
Because Cleveland Bartending School places emphasis on simulated training, its graduates depart with the knowhow needed to work extensively in the city and metropolitan area. Past students have gone on to become professional bartenders, host stellar parties, and open wild-west saloons in their basements. Groupon users should call to make reservations and confirm specific dates for each class type.
Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: Snow Sculpting
Although pristine, untouched fields of freshly fallen snow may seem to ignite limitless possibilities in the imagination of a child or a childlike mailman, there are in fact only three basic snow structures at your disposal. Please select one, and only one, before donning your mittens:
The Snow "Man": Composed of three vertically stacked orbs of ascending mass, this scarecrow-like snow homunculus is intended to be less a facsimile of a man and more a grotesque lens through which to view our own humanity, as rising temperatures gradually reduce its form to its base components of a wet top hat concealing a single carrot. Have fun!
Igloos: The traditional domed ice houses of yesteryear are back! Using a small Rubbermaid® container, form tightly packed "bricks" of snow and arrange them around yourself in an ascending spiral until you are completely entombed. If you begin to feel claustrophobic, the natural heat exuded from your panicking body should help you melt an exit, with ample time before your brain functions shut down out of fear.
Snow Angels: Less structures and more human-shaped craters, snow angels are nonetheless the most popular means of expressing one's self in the snow, especially within the confines of the secret government complex that houses all children born with wings.
