So, get in front of the TV set, keep calm and drink a Martini; their slogan, not ours.
The Ritz-Carlton is now offering table-side Martinis classes from July 27th through August 12th from 5:30-6:00 PM. Seems a bit time challenged, but hey, after a few you’ll catch on quickly – we promise – been there, done that.
