Have fun in an energetic, friendly environment

Did you know that when we’re having fun, our brains release mood-boosting endorphins? Laughter has also been shown to increase our levels of happy hormones like serotonin and decrease cortisol, the ‘stress hormone’ – and you can expect lots of laughs at one of our London cocktail classes!

Sipping on your favourite tipple offers an instant mood-booster of course – but so does the sense of achievement and confidence that comes with trying (and mastering!) something new. 

With our cocktail making courses in London, you’ll be learning how to make delicious mixed drinks in a relaxed, fun-filled atmosphere. The aim of a cocktail class with us is to be able to give something new a go and enjoy yourself in the process – no pressure or perfectionism here!

Savour some screen-free time

If you’re guilty of being glued to your phone or find yourself sitting on the sofa scrolling through Instagram in your spare time, an afternoon learning how to make cocktails could be just what you need!

Are you tired of spending your evenings binge-watching Netflix or your weekends glued to a screen? Why not shake things up and join a cocktail masterclass instead? Get your blood pumping as you chop, mix, and blend ingredients to create delicious cocktails. You'll be fully immersed in the experience as you focus on crafting the perfect drink and socialising with other participants. And the best part? You get to taste your creations! So say goodbye to boring nights in and hello to a fun-filled evening of mixing and mingling.

At a cocktail class, you’ll forget all about your phone as you put what you’ve learned into practice and perfect your pour alongside your fellow bartending buddies. In fact, the only time you might be tempted to reach for your phone is to take a snap of your cocktail creation to share on social media at the end!
