Meet Dameain

Dameain has been voted "Mixologist of the year" in Barbados for two consecutive years! A rummelier and brand ambassador for West Indies Rum Distillery's rums, Dameain is also a TV personality and co-owner of The Barman Bar Services Company. Dameain is excited to share his passion for mixology by offering a master mixology class at the Pelican Bar. His mixology journey began when at the end of his shift at the most popular restaurant in St. Lawrence Gap (Cafe Jungles), he would hang out and help at the bar. His manager saw his interest in the bar and he has since become one of the top bartenders/mixologists in the country. Dameain travels around the world to educate audiences about rum at various spirit festivals and is the person to connect with if you're interested in learning about and appreciating rum!

What to expect

Please note menu might vary. If there are particular dishes you are interested in trying, please include your request in the booking form.

Food tour: (2-8 guests) MIXOLOGY CLASS ON MONDAYS: Meet your host, Dameain, at the Flaming Pelican Bar for a fun and interactive mixology experience in Bridgetown. Begin your 1-hour personalized cocktail class with a brief history of the rum production and learn about the heritage and production of Plantation and Stades Rums in Barbados.

Next, dive into your master mixology session, where you’ll learn the art of cocktail-making and even take part in a friendly competition. Under Dameain’s expert guidance, craft two to three signature rum-based cocktails, including a traditional Barbadian Rum Punch, Corn ‘n’ Oil, featuring falernum, a local sugarcane liqueur and a creative, contemporary rum cocktail infused with local flavors. Along the way, Dameain will share insights into the history and tasting notes of aged rums, teaching you how to appreciate their unique characteristics. As you shake and sip your creations, enjoy local Bajan bites like fish cakes, samosas, or a sushi platter.

Dameain is available to host on Mondays and Tuesdays from 10 AM to 4:30 PM. If the 1 PM or 3 PM slots don’t work for you, feel free to coordinate a time with him after booking.

Notes: Please note this is a "cocktail-making class", not a food tour as stated in the default template.

Our mixology class with Dameain Williams was absolutely phenomenal! From the moment we arrived, Dameain went above and beyond to make the experience both educational and incredibly fun. His passion for mixology was evident in every detail, from the carefully selected ingredients to the fascinating stories behind each cocktail. Not only did we learn how to craft delicious, well-balanced drinks, but Dameain also made sure we understood the techniques and flavors that make each cocktail special. His warm hospitality and engaging personality made the entire experience feel like an intimate gathering with a friend rather than just a class. This was, without a doubt, one of the highlights of our trip to Barbados. If you're looking for an unforgettable mixology experience, look no further. Dameain is truly exceptional. Highly recommend!
