IV. PROCEDURES
A. Reviewing previous  What are some of your favorite drinks? What makes them taste so good?
lesson or presenting the  If there was a preceding lesson on food science or basic culinary skills, quickly touch
new lesson upon relevant concepts like flavor profiles or ingredient interactions.
 Today, we're going to build on that knowledge by learning how to create our own
delicious cocktails and mocktails!
B. Establishing a purpose Activity 1: Ingredient Exploration
for the lesson Directions:
1. Divide students into small groups.
2. Provide each group with a selection of ingredients.
3. Ask each group to:
 Identify the different types of ingredients (e.g., spirits, liqueurs, mixers, fruits).
 Describe the flavor profiles of each ingredient (e.g., sweet, tart, spicy, herbal).
 Discuss how the flavors of different ingredients might complement each other.
4. Encourage students to smell and taste the ingredients (if appropriate) to get a better
understanding of their flavor profiles.
5. Have each group share their findings with the class.
C. Presenting examples/ What can you say about the activity 1?
instances of the new Can you describe and tell something about them?
lesson  Students get to smell and taste (if appropriate) the ingredients, which helps them
develop a deeper understanding of their flavor profiles. This is a much more
memorable experience than simply reading about ingredients in a textbook.
 Working in groups encourages students to share their knowledge and learn from each
other. It also promotes discussion and critical thinking as they try to identify the
different types of ingredients and their flavor characteristics.
 By using actual ingredients, the activity connects the lesson to real-world applications.
Students can see how the ingredients they're exploring are used in drinks they might
already be familiar with.
D. Discussing new Discussion proper with PowerPoint presentation:
concepts and practical I - Understanding the Art of Mixing Drinks
new skills Guide Questions:
A. What are the key factors to consider when selecting ingredients for a cocktail or non-
alcoholic drink, and how do these factors contribute to a balanced and delicious
experience?
 Choosing ingredients with complementary flavor profiles is crucial for creating a
harmonious taste experience.
 For example, sweet and tart flavors often complement each other, while spicy and
refreshing flavors can create a unique and exciting combination.
II - The Role of Each Ingredient
Guide Questions:
B. Explain how different ingredients contribute to the overall taste and texture of a
cocktail or non-alcoholic drink. Provide specific examples to illustrate your points.
 Sweet ingredients like sugar, syrups, and fruit juices add sweetness to a drink. They
balance out acidity and bitterness, creating a more pleasant taste.
 For example, simple syrup adds sweetness to a margarita, while cranberry juice
contributes both sweetness and a tartness to a cosmopolitan.
C. Developing mastery Activity 2: Flavor Profile Challenge
(leads to Formative Directions:
Assessment)
 Divide into Groups: Your teacher will divide you into small groups of 3-4 students.
 Flavor Profile Assignment: Each group will be assigned a specific flavor profile card
(e.g., "Sweet and Tart," "Spicy and Refreshing," "Citrusy and Herbal," "Earthy and
Smoky").
 Ingredient Selection: As a group, choose 3-5 ingredients from the provided
ingredient cards that you believe would best complement the assigned flavor profile.
 Explanation: Write down your chosen ingredients on the whiteboard or chart paper
and explain your reasoning. Discuss how the flavors of each ingredient will interact
with each other and how they will contribute to the overall taste and texture of the
drink.
 Group Discussion: After each group has presented their choices, be prepared to
discuss your choices with the class. Be ready to answer questions about your
 reasoning and to provide feedback to other groups.

D. Finding practical Activity 3: Cocktail and Mocktail Recipe Swap

application of concepts Directions:
and skills in daily living - Individually, research and create a unique cocktail or mocktail recipe.
- Exchange recipes with a classmate.
- Prepare and present your drink to the class, explaining your recipe and choices.
