All of our events are customized to your specific vision, offering a hands-on mixology experience where guests not only enjoy expertly crafted drinks but also learn the art and science behind them.
Just imagine: Your event begins when guests receive a welcome signature cocktail or non-alcoholic mocktail crafted with molecular techniques. This first drink demonstrates the innovative methods you’ll learn throughout the session. Each person has their own workspace with bar tools, spirits, mixers, and garnishes ready for use.
The mixologist demonstrates how to create balanced cocktails and fix drinks that don’t taste quite right. You’ll learn proper techniques for using bar tools, muddling, mixing, shaking, and stirring. The standard class covers four classic cocktails updated with modern techniques. After watching the first two demonstrations and sampling the results, participants recreate one with their own personal touches. This process repeats with different cocktail styles and spirits.
Questions are encouraged throughout the class. Participants learn why certain techniques work, how different spirits affect flavor, and what makes a cocktail properly balanced. The instruction covers practical knowledge like understanding the difference between bourbon and scotch, why modern gin tastes different from older styles, and how to order cocktails you’ll enjoy at any bar.
We will discuss your class format and exactly what you’re looking for prior to your event.
Here are some ideas and things things we like to do:
Zero Proof and Low Proof Options: We teach classes to accom
Standard Mixology Class: Learn to make four different cocktails representing various styles and techniques. Each drink teaches specific skills you can apply to countless other recipes. This format works well for groups wanting comprehensive cocktail education.
Chopped-Style Competition Class: After the welcome cocktail and learning three drinks, the group divides into teams for a friendly competition. Mystery ingredients are revealed, and teams create original cocktails. Each team presents their creation for judging. Winners receive prizes and bragging rights. This format excels for corporate team building and groups wanting extra interaction.
Bitters Workshop: Learn about bitters and how to make your own. This specialized class explores these concentrated flavor enhancers and teaches custom blending techniques for personalizing your home bar.
Spirit Education and Tasting: Deep exploration of specific spirit categories. Learn what distinguishes different types of whiskey, explore agave spirits, or understand gin’s botanical evolution. These focused sessions provide expert-level knowledge about particular spirit families.
Our mixology classes create engaging team building experiences that go beyond typical corporate activities. Team members learn new skills together while strengthening workplace connections. The collaborative nature of cocktail creation encourages communication and creativity in a relaxed setting.
Participants work together sharing ingredients and tools. During competition formats, teams must communicate effectively and delegate tasks. These interactions often reveal hidden talents and create conversation opportunities that extend beyond the event. Every team member can participate fully, whether they’re making cocktails or exploring our equally sophisticated mocktail options.
The skills learned transfer directly to professional environments. Following instructions carefully, asking clarifying questions, and working collaboratively mirror important workplace behaviors. Many corporate clients report improved team dynamics following our classes.
Bachelor and bachelorette parties become memorable experiences when participants learn valuable mixology skills. Birthday celebrations transform from passive gatherings into interactive events where everyone contributes. Engagement parties can include developing signature cocktails for upcoming weddings. Anniversary celebrations might feature recreating meaningful drinks or exploring spirits from significant years.
Private groups appreciate our flexibility in accommodating various dietary needs and preferences without singling out individuals. Whether someone prefers cocktails or mocktails, everyone enjoys an equally engaging experience. Our inclusive approach ensures all guests feel valued and involved.

Our classes incorporate molecular mixology methods previously exclusive to high-end cocktail bars. These techniques create visual interest while adding flavor dimensions. Participants might experiment with spherification, creating caviar pearls that burst with cocktail flavors. Foam creation using specialized ingredients allows drinks to maintain stunning presentations.
Molecular techniques also include the use of smoke, which adds an enticing and inviting aroma, and dry ice, valued for its whimsical visual effects and ability to create a cognitive distortion—all while emphasizing safe handling practices.
