It’s the perfect at-home date night idea

Spending more time than usual with your loved one? Whether you’ve got into the habit of doing the same things every day and you need to make life a bit more exciting again, virtual cocktail making classes can be an excellent idea for things for couples to do at home. 

Firstly, if you’re already homebodies, you don’t need to worry about having to leave the house in the cold or rain. You can both make the effort and get dressed up for the class as you’ll spend quality time together learning how to shake and pour impressive cocktails to make at home. You’ll also join a class of other like-minded people and whilst you try the amazing cocktails, you can continue the night away with coming up with more creations after the cocktail making class finishes. Sure beats watching something in silence on Netflix right?

Celebrate birthdays in lockdown with a virtual cocktail making class

Celebrating a birthday in quarantine doesn’t need to be rubbish! You can keep up the optimism and just celebrate an entirely different birthday this year with all of your loved ones around you. If you’re spending a birthday in lockdown and need to come up with some fun ideas for birthday presents and virtual birthday party ideas, a virtual cocktail making class could be just the trick. 

Virtual cocktail making classes are a fun way to bring friends and family together, especially if you’re not living nearby. If you have loved ones living in other parts of the country, you can feel like you’ve not seen each other in ages by bringing everyone together again online. 

Make a party theme for the class so everyone makes the effort and gets in the mood for making cocktails at home. When everyone joins the class, the birthday boy or girl will be surprised by everyone’s efforts they’ve gone to! When you log onto Zoom for the class, a local British cocktail maker will be online ready to teach you all how to make easy cocktails at home. 

When you finish the class, continue the evening on with your friends and family as you all come up with new cocktail making ideas. Just remember to explain how you’ve personally made the best cocktail of the night!

Christmas is all about spending quality time with friends and family which also includes going to loads of excellent Christmas parties. What if you’re having to spend Christmas in lockdown and you’re not sure what to do this year? Coming up with creative ideas can be a bit tricky, especially when the situation is so new, you’re not sure what works and what doesn’t. Fear not! Our virtual cocktail making classes are an amazing way to have fun with everyone, even if you’re home alone. 

Here’s the thing, get dressed up in your favourite Christmas party gear and get ready to celebrate Christmas with everyone online instead. With our virtual cocktail making experience, you’ll be able to have a laugh with your friends and family without having to leave the house.

Once you receive your beautiful DIY cocktail making kit from our local British cocktail makers, you can set up your own little bar at home in any way you like. When the party starts, simply log onto Zoom and you’ll find everyone waiting to start making cocktails. The mixologist will then teach you all how to make cocktails which you’ll be able to continue on making throughout the party season!
