Overview:
This interactive cocktail making event is a winning night away from the office, where guests spend the afternoon or evening learning a new skill - the ageless art of cocktail making.

This fun, shared experience offers the perfect environment for colleagues to bond and includes a selection of team building games that will get everybody working together.

Throughout the event, guests are taught how to mix, muddle and mash a selection of classic cocktails, taught by a professional mixologist, in a real cocktail bar! By the end of the event everybody will have been behind the bar to shake, rattle and pour. 

Format:
On arrival, guests will be greeted with a glass of bubbly and a flavoured vodka shot. The cocktail masterclass begins with an introductory talk on the history of cocktails, such as the origin of the word and interesting facts. Throughout the event the mixologist demonstrates how to make a selection of signature cocktails, followed by teams working together to recreate them with plenty of tasting opportunities.

Sample Cocktails:
Long Island Iced Tea, Raspberry or Bison Grass Mojito, Cosmopolitan, Russian Bride, Classic Bond Martini, Mudslide or a Strawberry Woo Woo, plus others.

During the session everybody gets a chance to shake, rattle and pour, behind the bar, using their new cocktail knowledge and bar skills. When guests aren’t making cocktails they’ll be competing against each other in cocktail themed team activities, such as a bar tool relay race, blindfolded challenge and, of course, shake offs.

Overview:
If you’re looking for an activity to make the weekend memorable, or something to bring together a group of girls who don’t all know each other , then cocktail making, or mixology as it’s called, is the perfect solution.

Experienced, professional and friendly mixologists will take you step by step through the history of cocktails and then show you how to make three of the classics, before handing you the bottles and letting your imagination and creativity run wild.

As you experiment under expert guidance as to what works and what doesn’t, you’ll start to appreciate a whole new art form and most excitingly develop skills which you can then hone with friends and family in the years to come.

Format:
Each group will have one or more cocktail ambassadors who will brief you on the day's activities before giving a short introductory talk on the history of the cocktail and the origin of the word. Each member of your group will then be given a bar tool which they will have to try to identify before putting the tools in the correct order of use when making a cocktail.

The ambassador will then make an introduction shot for the group where he/she will explain what all of the bar tools are used for. If you don't know the difference between a Hawthorn strainer and a Boston shaker, you'll find out.

Everyone then makes lemonade using real lemons, gomme and soda water, and you'll learn about how to perfectly balance sweet and sour. You'll use your lemonade to make a Raspberry Vodka Collins and a Passion Fruit Krushka.

You'll then be talked through the history of, and taught how to make a Mojito/Bison Grass Mojito, a Pear Caipirowska, a Cosmopolitan and a White Russian/Bride. Then it'll be your turn to show off your cocktail skills by going head to head with another member of your group in a shake off where you'll each make one of the cocktails.

The event will end with a mini quiz with two free cocktail vouchers each on offer for the winning team. To soak up some of the alcohol, your group will also have a couple of food platters to nibble at, with a wide variety of food.
