Cocktail classes are a fun and rewarding way for people to learn about the different elements of cocktail mixing and creation. For groups of 3-30 or larger we tailor cocktail class sessions to suit the client or event. From a quick single cocktail demo, for ‘make your own cocktail’, to classes specific to one of the cocktail elements, folks walk away from the experience feeling great they have learned something that will be useful in a range of social situations, not just from the cocktail creations they have enjoyed.

A professional cocktail bartender teaches the classes which are fairly informal but definitely fun and rewarding.

Mixing Cocktails

Team Building Challenge

Making cocktails is not hard. Serving great cocktails late into the night to all kinds of people in varying states, is the hard part.

Here we’re going to learn a couple of easy recipes and general rules that will be a great start for making cocktails at home and will educate your palate for when you move on to creating cocktails in a bar.

Flair Bar tending

Flair bar-tending combines juggling feats with ordinary bar items, with the serving of cocktails to fantastic effect. Learning a few tricks is great fun and builds confidence when mixing drinks at home or behind the bar.

Cocktail and Spirit History

A cocktail is a style of mixed drink. Originally a mixture of distilled spirits, sugar, water, and bitters, the word has gradually come to mean almost any mixed drink containing alcohol. A cocktail today usually contains one or more types of liquor and one or more mixers, such as bitters, fruit juice, fruit, soda, ice, sugar, honey, milk, cream, or herbs.

Creating Cocktails

A balance of sweet and sour forms the base of most cocktail creations, often starting with a desired flavour or special spirit and balancing the ingredients with dashes, drops and splashes of mixers, syrups and more. A small taste of each ingredient before mixing will help place it’s contribution to the final cocktail.

Cocktail kits for the winners are also a rewarding addition.

Hi Jeremy,

Thank you for a fantastic session last Tuesday afternoon. We all had a great time!

I was wondering if you can please send me the recipe for the cosmos and the mojitos so I can pass them onto the group.

Thank you!
