Cocktail making is a fun icebreaker!

Yes, you read that right — fun icebreakers really do exist, and they come in the form of delicious cocktails. 

Taking part in group activities in London such as cocktail making is one the best ways of getting people together and showing them how much they have in common. With this activity, it will be impossible for your employees not to bond over their love of artisanal gin or spicy tequila — so get ready for some teamwork at its best!

Whether they’re competing on who can make the best Old Fashioned or setting the world to rights after two rather strong negronis, this lively experience of shaking and making is sure to get your troops talking. 

Pour up some creativity with a mixology masterclass

Whether you’re a marketing team looking for inspiration, or a tech company searching for your next big idea, why not take a break from your desks and exercise your creativity at a local cocktail making class?

With a mixology masterclass in London, you and your co-workers will learn from a local expert how to get creative behind the bar and use your imagination to whip up some taste bud tantalising treats. You and your team can then set off on your own journeys of discovery and experiment with new flavours as you concoct all manner of delicious drinks. 

This afternoon or evening spent sparking your creativity (whilst enjoying a splash or two of the good stuff) could be just what your team needed to gain a fresh perspective. You’ll all then be able to head back to the office the next day rejuvenated and full of life, ready to get those ideas flowing again. How’s that for a team building activity?

Elevate your team building activities in London to something special

A cocktail class is not only an incredible way for your colleagues to learn more about each other, but it's also a chance for you as their leader to show your appreciation by treating them (and yourself) to something truly special. 

At a typical cocktail class, you and your colleagues will be able to rock up to a gorgeous London cocktail bar and kick start your evening by watching a series of fun and entertaining demonstrations, delivered by an expert local mixologist. Then, it’ll be time to set to work as you and your gang mix, muddle and pour your way to luxurious libations.

Cocktail making experiences are crowd-pleasers

Choosing activities in London for large groups of people isn't always easy — in fact, it can be rather difficult! The chances are everyone has different interests.

But don’t worry, because cocktail making is here to save the day! From mocktail options for teetotalers to concoctions that cover a variety of tastes from sweet to sour, a cocktail class truly is a crowd-pleasing choice. 

With cocktails and mocktails, there is something for everyone. We know there are those who like to stick to the classics and those who crave something a little out of the ordinary (and we mean out of this world), which is why many of our cocktail classes in London are flexible to you and your group’s preferences. That’s right, there is an expert mixologist behind the bar waiting for you all, ready to whip up something just for you and your work friends to enjoy.

This team building activity lets you shake away the stress

On the surface, this team building activity may look like one big happy hour — and sure, it can be one big happy hour (if that’s what you want)! But underneath lies an incredible opportunity to de-stress your hard workers.

Because of the creativity involved in cocktail making and how hands-on the experience is, your whole team will be able to connect over something far beyond work matters in a fun environment that feels more like an escape than anything else. You can shake away the stress together as everyone bonds over their creations while getting tips from your expert mixologist trainer.
