What you'll do

If you're looking for a fun and educational experience with a creative element, join this cocktail-making class in Seattle. This class uses handpicked high-quality spirits and fresh ingredients and works with local shops and farms to provide a truly bespoke experience.

In the first part of your cocktail-making journey, you will learn about spirits, tools and techniques needed to successfully execute a tasty libation. Then you will warm up those shaking arms, and try not to laugh at yourself and others while you shake a cocktail as hard as you can.

With your first cocktail in your hand, you will learn how to modify and create new cocktails using your base cocktail recipe. In the next step, you will get creative with a professional bartender in your corner to guide you, as you pick out the ingredients to shake up a cocktail with your own touch and flavor. Before you realize you have created your own unique libation utilizing everything you have learned at the workshop.

With all the techniques, tools, history, recipes and pro tips and tricks, you can confidently entertain and impress guests at your own home.

If you're looking for great birthday party ideas for adults in Seattle, team-building activities, or an interactive element to add to your next special event, this cocktail-making class will have all your guests engaged in this hands-on learning experience. Feel free to stage one of your libations for photos or take action shots of you shaking a cocktail behind a bar!

Hi, my name is Sander Raav and I am the owner of Seattle Bartending Company.

My career in the food and beverage industry began at the age of 19 in Estonia and after years of employment in high-end restaurants I traveled and spent years living and working in several countries and continents which landed me in Seattle in 2010.

Since then, I have held positions as a bartender, bar manager, brand ambassador, treasurer for the Seattle chapter of United States Bartenders Guild and have created and organized several events, fundraisers, cocktail classes, presentations etc..

My cocktail competition resume includes over a dozen wins and placements in the top 3 of national and local competitions. Thanks to my extensive competition and cocktail knowledge I have later been asked to judge several of these competitions.

In 2020 I established Shake, Stir & Savor and have been regularly offering live and virtual cocktail classes since. In 2021 I re-opened Seattle Bartending Company which offers Cocktail Workshops and Classes among other services.

I have always been passionate about bartending and connecting with people from all walks of life and making friends for life.
One of my favorite aspects of bartending is to geek out with my guests about flavors, spirits, ingredients and sharing experiences in the world of flavors and cocktails.

In my classes I focus on teaching how to think like bartenders and chefs do while making the concepts simple, easy to grasp and replicable.
