Itinerary
Day 1
Meet & Hands‑On Cocktail Class at Cook in Rio
Start at 15:30 with a bilingual host for a 2-hour hands-on mixology class. Learn to make six traditional Brazilian cocktails, practice shaking and pouring, enjoy included snacks, and receive cultural background on each drink. The host provides all tools, glassware, ice, fruit and premium cachaça. The session finishes with a short walk to Ipanema Beach for a sunset toast.
Tips from local experts:
- Arrive 5–10 minutes early to check in and settle; bring your ID (18+ requirement).
- Wear comfortable, smart-casual clothes that you don’t mind getting a little damp from ice or citrus.
- If you prefer lower-alcohol versions, tell the host at the start so they can adjust pours.
Short Walk (studio → Ipanema Beach)
A brief, approximately 10-minute walk from the studio to Avenida Vieira Souto at Ipanema Beach. This short transfer gives time to finish glasses, gather belongings, and head to the sand for sunset.
Tips from local experts:
- Collect any personal items before leaving the studio; keep valuables secure in a front-facing bag.
- Wear comfortable shoes for the short walk and a light layer if the ocean breeze is cool near sunset.
- If mobility is limited, inform the host in advance so pace and route can be adjusted.
Sunset Toast on Ipanema Beach
Enjoy your final cocktails with your feet in the sand while watching the sunset on Ipanema Beach. This relaxed 20-minute moment is the class finale — take photos, toast, and savor the view before the experience ends.
Tips from local experts:
- Bring a light jacket or shawl for after-sunset cooling; sunset can be breezy near the water.
- Keep glassware and waste with the host’s instructions—follow local beach rules for disposal and safety.
- Have your phone/camera ready for sunset photos; avoid blocking others' views and step back for group shots.
