What is a Cocktail Making Class?

A Cocktail Masterclass is quite simply a session where you learn How to make Cocktails. 

​

Now I'm not stupid. I know full well that 95% of my previous Clients actually don't really want to "Learn" how to make Cocktails. They never had any intention of becoming Bartenders. They purely want a fun couple of Hours that involves a Drink. The chances are, you're reading this thinking exactly the same.

That's why I've perfected my Craft. I LOVE Teaching. But I also LOVE Entertaining. So my top priority is giving you a few hours of Fun that you are going to remember for a good few years to come. But I do also love to give you "Drinkspiration". So I obviously show you how to make Cocktails. But my big underlying "WHY", is that I love teaching you how to flip drinks up to make subtle changes. Or course at the End of of the Class, you are going to know HOW to make the Worlds Best Pornstar Martini. But hopefully you'll also know how to make a Coconut or Pineapple Mojito using ingredients you can find from any Supermarket.

How does my Cocktail Making Class Work?

On Event Day, I turn up at your Event Location, normally about 60 mins before Start Time, to take over your Kitchen or Dining Room Table. I transform it from a dull looking area where you'd normally sit and eat your Full English or Sunday Roast, and turn it into a Multiple Station Cocktail Bar. I bring Plenty of Bar Equipment (Shakers etc), Ice Buckets, All the Drinks, Ice, Fruit and of course Table Protectors if need be, as no one wants a Grenadine Stain reminder 2 years from now! 

​

Depending on the size of your Party, and your Table Size, I either set up enough stations for Everybody, or we break it down into groups. But rest assured, there is minimal wait time. We're talking 5 minutes. Okay maybe 10 minutes, as there's always the slow coach, that at even 30yo, still can't work out how to chop a Lime! 

​

Remember, this is all about FUN, not pretentiousness. So I demonstrate how to make the Cocktail, complete with the Funnies. After 500+ Masterclasses, I know exactly where they'll come! Then let you loose at your Stations. Once Cocktail One is complete, you then have a few minutes to drink while i reset and clear the carnage that you've just created before we crack on with Cocktail 2. Basically its then rinse and repeat!

What about the Non Drinkers?

I LOVE this Question.

I'm fully aware now after 8+ years of doing this, there's going to be a Pregnant Hen, A Driver, or just someone who simply doesn't Drink. YOU ARE NOT ESCAPING THE FUN!! I promise you, you will be as included as the rest of the group. I have Mocktail Equivalents of ALL Cocktails. And i'm not just talking Orange & Lemonade either. I carry non-Alcoholic Rum, Vodka and Gin. I carry plenty of Purées and Syrups. Trust me. Your Mocktails will be as Banging as the Alcoholic versions! So if you think you're escaping the Shakeface Ritual, you are very sadly mistaken!

Photos.

I know you'll all get your own Selfies. But I do get a load of Pics too. I have nailed the art of perfecting the perfect Group Boomerang, first time, every time. Bold statement I know, but I'd back myself. Plus getting the group shots without someone trying to hide at the back. Photos are as important as the session. They are what counts towards the memories. So I get plenty of Pics, then "Airdrop" them to whoever wants them at the end. Or WhatsApp if in the unlikely event that no one has an iPhone.
