The night
Three hours behind the shaker
A hands-on mixology class with the lights down and the music up. You make ten mini cocktails, learn the techniques behind them, and meet a new table at every round.
What you learn
Real technique, not party tricks. Well, a few tricks.
Each round adds a new skill, so the tenth drink is nothing like the first.
- Measuring and building in the glass
- Shaking, and when not to
- Stirring and dilution
- Muddling, straining and fine straining
- Garnishes that do something
- A first taste of flair
Hour by hour
How the night runs
Arrive and mingle
ID check at the door, a name badge and a table of four.

Nine mini cocktails across three rounds, with a table swap after each one.

Winners, group photo and your recipe book by email the next day.
Your host
Led by an expert mixologist
Every night is taught from behind the bar by a professional mixologist, with a second bartender on the floor so nobody is left guessing. Expect clear teaching, live flair demonstrations and the occasional flame.
Flame and flair demonstrations are performed by the mixologist only. Guests never handle fire.
