Why You'll Love Cocktail Making Classes at Home

Why You'll Love Cocktail Making Classes at Home


By Laura Maskery

Looking for fun things to do at home or in London? Ready to shake up your Friday nights? We think you’ll love our virtual mixology workshops and London cocktail making classes - they're a really relaxing and creative activity which will help you carve out some time to unwind.

Choose a cocktail making kit, lovingly packed just for you by expert mixologists from around the UK - a perfect night in all boxed up and delivered to your door! You can pick between delicious alcoholic cocktails or heavenly mocktails - whatever’s best for you. Choose one of our DIY kits to enjoy a DIY cocktails party at your leisure, or opt for a cocktails kit with an accompanying live-streamed class and we'll Zoom a superstar cocktail-making pro into your home to show you how it's done. Take part with your household, or get together online with friends and loved ones remotely - enjoying a virtual class or activity is a lovely way to connect with others when you can’t be together in person!

Date nights - sorted!

If you’re wondering what to do for your next date night with your loved one, virtual cocktail making classes could be the perfect option. The stresses and worries of recent times have left us all feeling a bit (or a lot) drained and most of us have spent a ton of time at home in the last year or so. You might have actually had more time with your partner than ever, but it’s about quality not quantity and it’s important to make sure that you’re still getting undistracted and relaxing time together, as well as just the everyday stuff. Even if you’re in lockdown right now, date nights can still be a thing! 

Choose to do a cocktail making kit at home together, put your phones away for a while and shake up some delicious drinks to enjoy as a pair. You’ll get an awesome cocktail set sent to your door from a fabulous mixology expert - drinks, shakers and instructions included! You can choose to make your DIY cocktails by yourselves, or you can join a super fun party online with a live streaming virtual cocktail making class and a great teacher who can show you just how it’s done. 

Love the classics? Get stuck into a modern classic DIY cocktails party with some of the best cocktail pros in the business. If you’d normally go to a nice bar for some relaxing drinks with your loved one, this is an incredible alternative. There’ll be no queues to get in, absolutely no jostling to get served, and you can even keep cosy in your pyjama bottoms and slippers (we won’t tell if you don’t)! It’s a great chance to get an amazing mixologist all to yourself to learn some easy cocktails to make at home. You’ll have a lovely time mixing your concoctions and you’ll finish up with loads of new drinks skills to use forevermore. You’ll of course also have some delicious handcrafted beverages to indulge in too!  

Invite your favourite couple to join you and double-date it - chink those glasses together online and have a great relaxing catch-up (it must be up there with one of the best Zoom date ideas). You’ll be so proud of your finished drinks - imagine how satisfying it’ll be to enjoy some time together, sipping your own cocktails at home and knowing you made them yourselves. It’s the date night of dreams! 

Stuck for lockdown birthday celbs or isolation gifts? We got ya

If you’ve got a mate’s birthday coming up and you’re out of ideas to celebrate remotely, cocktail making classes at home could be an awesome solution. Everything you need will be delivered right to your door. Gather your friends online and we’ll send a brilliant mixology teacher straight to your screens to show you some of the most impressive cocktails to make at home. Fresh cosmopolitans, minty mojitos and delicious rum punches are only a class booking away! Make a night of it - get out of your gym pants and into your favourite outfit, put some music on and enjoy some good quality cocktail time with your favourite birthday person and the rest of your friends. 

Lockdown birthdays don’t need to be sad when you can make cocktails online with your besties. You’ll finish up your class feeling connected to your friends, despite being physically apart, and you’ll have still made an occasion of that special birthday. Another big plus is that you’ll have picked up loads of tips on shaking together the absolute best cocktails to make at home, so you’ll be cocktail party-ready for future occasions too! Get together as a group and treat your friend to the event - it’s the ideal experience gift!

Already completed Netflix? Stir things up with a cocktail making set

A couple form a heart shape with their hands.

If you’ve put in some serious Netflix shifts recently and are now sick of staring at your screen, a cocktail making kit is a great way to switch things up and make your evenings interesting again. You’ll get everything you need for your first foray into mixology sent right to your house and you’ll soon be ready to make some lovely cocktails at home. Fruity concoctions, delicious bubbles and super Instagrammable espresso martinis are right at your fingertips! Get your family or housemates involved, or learn to mix some delicious drinks with your partner and take it in turns to come up with new recipes and then work together to make them. 

We admit that there are some rather good box sets out there, but shaking things up with virtual cocktail making classes will lead to a more fulfilling evening than lounging in front of the TV again, and as we all know - a change is as good as a rest! 

Want to learn a new skill this year?

Are you one for New Year’s resolutions? Or do you just fancy adding a new skill to your repertoire? Pick up some fabulous mixology skills and learn the most impressive cocktails to make at home with a cocktail making kit. You’ll absolutely love it. Is that a boring utility bill landing on your doormat? No, it’s a beautiful cocktails set ready to show you a good time! Don’t know your margarita from your mojito? No worries! Our cocktail making classes are designed for beginners and suitable for anyone. If you prefer mocktails then, of course, we’ve got you covered with a selection of alcohol-free online classes. 

One of the biggest misconceptions about cocktails is that they’re hard to make - in truth, all you need is a few bits of kit and the right ingredients, and luckily for you, we can send all the essentials directly to your door!  Getting involved in cocktail making online is a great step towards learning a new skill (and we think you can totally put it on your CV). With the support of a great cocktail set, some solid guidance from an experienced cocktail professional and the choice of some of the best virtual cocktail making classes, you’ll soon be making delicious drinks at home and showing off your shaking skills to your friends and family.
