Whether you’re extending your Dry January or ditching the booze altogether, our alcohol-free virtual and London cocktail making classes will show you that your drinks don’t have to contain the hard stuff to put you in a good mood! 

With a concoction of artisanal zero-alcohol spirits, mouth-watering mixers and a good helping of insta-worthy garnishes (for the ‘extra’ among us), it’s almost impossible to not have a smile on your face as you sip away.  

But the benefits of our mocktail making online classes go far beyond taste and appearance -  they’re also a great way to get creative, have some fun and learn something new about mixology!

So, whether you’re looking for fun things to do at home with your partner, or planning a booze-free virtual birthday party, our DIY virtual cocktail making classes could be just the ticket for getting tipsy on good times!

Here are our top picks for alcohol-free cocktail making classes, so you can enjoy a hangover-free weekend. 

Shake up a Spritz with this alcohol-free DIY cocktail making class!

Ah, the Aperol spritz, perfect for transporting you to a summer’s day in Sorrento! If you fancy little lockdown escapism, shaking up a spritz with this alcohol-free cocktail kit and class is sure to help you imagine the sun on your skin (even if it’s been a while). 

With our spritz online class and kit, you’ll mix-up a summer favourite with a former five-star bartender at The Ritz - now that’s what we call classy. But wait, it gets classier! You’ll swap out the Aperol for a delectable non-alcoholic British aperitif and top it up with a sparkling alcohol-free fine wine. This concoction is full flavour and drenched in elegance.  

The virtual cocktail making class, which is hosted by non-alcoholic mixology experts, Dedycated, will be full of tips, tricks and alcohol-free fun so not only will you enjoy a homemade tantalising tipple but a unique virtual experience too! 

Dedycated are dedicated (no surprise there) to creating DIY cocktails that aren’t just ‘mocktails’ but are well-thought-out concoctions that have the same authority as their spirited friends. So, if you’ve been settling for the Shirley Temple, perhaps it’s time to shake up a sophisticated spritz instead with this online class.  

Indulge in chocolate dusted espresso martinis with this cocktail kit for sweet-tooths 

When it comes to cocktail making at home, the espresso martini is without a doubt the perfect way to round-off a delicious home cooked dinner. The caffeine awakens you from your food-coma slumber, whilst the sweet taste acts as a little dessert for when you can’t quite stomach pud (yet). 

So, if you’re planning a dinner date, virtual party or just fancy indulging yourself this weekend (because, well, UK lockdown) - this is the cocktail making kit for you. The mocktail option provides you with a delicious alcohol-alternative called Seedlip, which is a luxury non-alcoholic spirit brand. Whether you’re teetotal or just fancy a weekend off from the stiff-stuff, with this delicious cocktail set, you’ll still be able to enjoy the taste of alcohol without the unwanted side-effects! 

You’ll also receive a pre-recorded virtual cocktail making class video with this DIY kit, so you can learn from the flair bartenders at Zest Mixology how to shake, muddle and stir like a pro. 

Make a margarita and paloma without the tequila with this virtual class and DIY kit

Tequila is one of those ‘love it or hate it’ things, but there has to be a reason why people need to lick salt and lime to be able to shoot this controversial elixir. So, if you tend to give it the thumbs down, or are looking for a non-alcoholic alternative, with this cocktail kit and class you’ll be able to shake up two tequila-style cocktails - without the tequila!

Instead, you’ll use a flavoursome agave spirit which will complement and bring together the other ingredients. During the virtual cocktail making class, you’ll also be able to learn all about how best to blend your flavours and learn a couple of cool tricks along the way too!

So, if you’re wondering what to do this weekend at home, why not throw a lockdown fiesta? With this virtual experience and DIY kit, you can bring together your friends and family online for some delicious drinks - all without alcohol, or leaving the house!

Stir up a storm with this non-alcoholic negroni making online class and cocktail set

Dedycated are back again for another Italian classic cocktail, with an additional non-alcoholic twist. This unique negroni might not include Campari, but don’t worry, you’ll still feel like you’re on the back of a yacht in the Mediterranean whilst sipping it!  

This unique cocktail kit uses a delicious alcohol-free British aperitif, as well as an artisanal vermouth alternative and a non-alcoholic gin (ima-gin that!). All of these ingredients are expertly sourced to provide you with a smooth, moreish and mood-boosting negroni. We’re sure after this fun DIY virtual cocktail making class, this no-alcohol negroni will become your drink of choice! 

If you’re looking for fun things to do at home, whether it’s been a long week, a stressful week, or even just an ok week - we think this enjoyable (and delicious) negroni cocktail making at home experience is sure to liven up your downtime and awaken your taste buds!
