Ninety minutes behind our bar with the team that built the list — three cocktails, built by your own hands, drunk without regret.
Most masterclasses are theatre — you watch, they pour. Ours puts the shaker in your hand. Our bartenders teach three drinks properly: the technique, the why, the mistakes to stop making at home.
You'll build, shake, stir and taste each one. The bar snacks keep you upright, and the recipe cards go home with you. Classes run Saturday afternoons; private sessions any day by arrangement.
Technique first, drinking second.
One shaken, one stirred, one built — the three techniques that cover most of the canon.
You build every drink. Our bartenders coach, correct and occasionally rescue.
The kitchen sends a board designed to keep the afternoon sensible.
Spec cards for all three drinks, written the way we actually make them.
Ice, tins, citrus and three drinks done properly.
Saturday afternoons are public; any day for privates.
Your station is set: tins, tools, glassware, garnish.
Shaken, stirred, built — each taught, each drunk.
Cards in pocket, confidence up, home bar improved.
Ninety-minute hands-on class: three cocktails built, drunk and learned. Private classes for groups of six to fourteen.
I thought I knew how to shake a drink. Ninety minutes later I knew I'd been wrong for years — happily so.

Classes are strictly 18+ and paced responsibly — pours are spec-pours, not doubles. Private classes suit birthdays, hen's parties that prefer skill over noise, and team afternoons that beat trust falls.
