Shake, Stir & Sip — A 2-Hour Cocktail Masterclass with Fresh Ingredients & Real Banter
Description
Warning: you will leave knowing how to make proper cocktails. You may also leave with a new favourite drink, a few terrible jokes, and the unsettling realisation that everything you've been ordering at bars could taste significantly better.
This is a 2-hour, hands-on cocktail masterclass — and here's what makes it different from every other class you'll find on here: we use only fresh ingredients and freshly squeezed juices, and we never cut corners on spirits. No syrups from a bottle. No cheap filler. Every cocktail you make tastes the way it's supposed to taste, because you're working with the right ingredients from the start.
Your hosts are native English speakers with bartending experience across the globe — which means you get real expertise, genuine stories behind each drink, and the kind of easy, warm humour that makes two hours disappear in the best possible way.
Set in a stylish private event space with groups of 7–15, you'll shake, stir and taste your way through 3–4 cocktails, learning technique, flavour logic, and why quality ingredients aren't a luxury — they're the whole point.
What's in store:
✦ 2 hours of hands-on cocktail making — no experience needed
✦ 3–4 recipes using only fresh juices and premium spirits
✦ The techniques that actually matter, explained clearly and with humour
✦ Small group (7–15) so you get real attention, not just a show
✦ Globally-experienced, native English-speaking hosts
✦ All ingredients and equipment provided — and yes, you taste everything
Perfect for date nights, birthday groups, team outings, or anyone who's tired of cocktail classes that taste like they used supermarket juice. Come thirsty. Leave impressed — with yourself. 🍸

Cocktails: Fresh, Proper & Fun
What We'll Do
Spend two hours making 3–4 cocktails from scratch — the right way. That means fresh-squeezed juices, quality spirits, and zero shortcuts. You'll taste the difference immediately, and you'll understand why most cocktail classes (and most bars, honestly) don't quite get it right.
Your hosts are native English speakers with real international bartending experience. Expect clear, enthusiastic teaching, the stories and science behind each drink, and enough banter to keep things properly entertaining throughout.
About the Experience
Most cocktail classes use pre-made mixes and mid-range spirits. We don't. Every drink you make here is built on fresh ingredients and quality pours — because that's the only way to learn what a cocktail is actually supposed to taste like, and the only way to recreate it at home.
Hosted in a private event space with 7–15 guests, the atmosphere is relaxed, social and genuinely fun. Our hosts have lived and worked internationally, which makes for warm, sharp conversation and the kind of teaching that sticks — because it's interesting, not just instructional.

What to Bring
Just yourself. We've got everything else — including fresh limes, which we squeeze ourselves (you're welcome). A sense of humour is optional but tends to show up on its own.
