5 best cocktail sessions in London
Need concrete recommendations rather than a vague list? These five are consistently the most-loved on the site right now.
- The Bubble Cocktail Making Class adds a playful fizz to your drink. Rated 5.0 stars in Archway, it swaps standard garnishes for bubble-infused cocktails, from £78.
- Choc-tails combines two indulgences in one session. Rated 5.0 stars in Shoreditch, this cocktail-and-chocolate-making masterclass takes groups up to 100 guests, from £75.
- The Macallan Whisky Tasting pairs food with a proper spirits education. Rated 5.0 stars in Hackney, you'll taste and learn about whisky alongside a cocktail-making session, from £50.
- Cocktail Tea Mixology Workshop is a different kind of afternoon. Rated 4.8 stars in Notting Hill, it blends tea ceremony techniques with classic cocktail-making, from £50.
- Limited Unlimited Cocktail Brunch Experience turns brunch into a proper party. Rated 5.0 stars in Hackney, it's a bottomless-style format built for a lazy weekend catch-up, from £40.
Affordable mixology workshops in London from £35
Cocktail classes don't have to break the bank. From £35 for the Cocktail Making Taster Session in Westminster, there's plenty of choice at the lower end too.
- A taster session covers the basics without the big spend. The Cocktail Making Taster Session in Westminster (from £35) and the Bespoke Cocktail Masterclass (from £35, mobile) both keep it simple and affordable.
- Mobile classes can work out cheaper per head for a group. The Cocktail Masterclass in Harrow (from £35, 10-30 guests) brings the mixologist to you.
- Public classes are usually the cheapest way in. Booking a spot on a shared session, rather than a private one, keeps the price down without losing the experience.
- Every price point still comes with a drink you made yourself. Even the cheapest options include ingredients, tools and guidance – nothing extra to buy.
Budget shouldn't stop you from having a proper night out – these low-cost sessions show that a great cocktail class doesn't need to be pricey.
