Corporate Cocktail Masterclass
Learn to Shake, Stir & Mix Like a Professional
A hands-on cocktail making experience where your team learns the techniques behind great cocktails.
Guided by a professional mixologist, everyone gets behind the bar to make two cocktails, learning how to shake, stir, balance flavours and present their drinks.
It's an enjoyable way to bring colleagues together away from their usual working environment, with plenty of opportunity to socialise along the way.

-
Two cocktails/mocktails per person
-
Professional mixologist and instruction
-
Premium spirits and fresh ingredients
-
Cocktail-making equipment and glassware
-
Ice and garnishes
-
Full set-up and clean-down
-
Alcohol-free mocktail options arranged in advance
Duration: Approximately 1–1½ hours of cocktail activities
Price: From £32 per person, subject to group size, location and requirements.
The Corporate Cocktail Challenge
Creativity, Collaboration & a Little Friendly Competition
For teams looking for something more challenging, our Corporate Cocktail Challenge takes the traditional masterclass a step further.
The experience begins with professional cocktail-making instruction, introducing your team to the techniques and flavour combinations used by bartenders.
Then it's time to put those new skills to the test.
Working in small teams, colleagues are challenged to create their own signature cocktail, choosing their ingredients, balancing flavours and developing a name and presentation for their creation.
Each team presents its cocktail before the final creations are judged on taste, creativity and presentation.
It's a fun, interactive format that encourages communication, collaboration and creative thinking — with a little friendly rivalry along the way.
The experience can include:
-
Guided cocktail-making instruction
-
An introduction to flavour balancing and cocktail construction
-
Small-group signature cocktail creation
-
Team naming and presentation
-
Professional judging and feedback
-
A winning team announcement
-
Alcohol-free participation options
The format, duration and number of cocktails can be tailored to suit your group, with ingredients and equipment managed to ensure an enjoyable and well-organised experience.
Price: Bespoke quotation based on group size, duration and event requirements.
