B1 – Making Cocktails: Giving Instructions

A B1-level giving instructions ESL lesson focused on describing processes through the topic of making cocktails. Based on adapted recipes from Love & Lemons (mojito and margarita), students learn key vocabulary related to ingredients and preparation, practise imperative forms, and use sequencing words to organise steps clearly. The lesson includes visual prediction, reading for gist and detail, vocabulary work, controlled and creative writing, speaking activities, and a final presentation task. Clear, engaging, and easy to teach, this lesson helps students give instructions more confidently and use practical language in a meaningful way.
