Craft Cocktail Mixology Bartending Class

Master craft cocktails with a mixology class in San Diego featuring hands on tasting!



2 hours Location Downtown Class size 16 to 35 guests   $75 - $95 ($75 for Public class; $95 for Private class)

In just two hours, you step into the lively world of cocktail creation, learning how to make cocktails that feel polished, playful, and impressively bar-worthy! In this bartending class, a master mixologist guides you on how to stock a basic bar and classic cocktail recipes, showing you how easy cocktails to make can be when you understand the foundations.
You’ll learn to shake and stir like a pro as you explore a seasonal spicy margarita, a lemon drop, and an espresso martini, each designed to highlight flavor, balance, and technique.
Along the way, your instructor demonstrates each drink from start to finish, and you’ll get to taste them as you go, turning learning into a full sensory experience. Paired with a partner, you’ll also get the chance to craft two of your favorites from the menu, putting your new bartending skills into practice in a relaxed, supportive setting.
These are things to do in San Diego that blend creativity, connection, and cocktail magic, making it perfect for date ideas, friend outings, or a fun solo adventure. You’re guided step by step throughout the session, enjoying the process, and leave with new cocktail recipes and skills you can use beyond the class!

  • 5/5 from Sarah Luetz, attended Aug 2026: Flow was great. She included interesting history of the drinks and what inspired them. I have a new love for a lemon drop martini.
