Even if you live in a vibrant city such as New York or San Francisco, you are sure to still have weekends when you are stuck for something to do on a date with your special someone. If you're running out of creative date ideas, skip a pricey drink at the same old bar and get creative with an at-home mixology experience. 

With these virtual cocktail making classes, you can learn how to make your favorite cocktails and savor some sumptuous quality time together. You can even sip cocktails in your pajamas if you so desire, without any of the usual date night distress over what to wear and where to go! Simply sign up for one of our live streaming sessions and learn how to prepare drinks from a mixology maestro, or order a DIY cocktail kit and prepare the drinks of your own preference as a pair.

Our well-stocked cocktail making kits come with drinks, cocktail shakers, and easy-to-follow instructions which will soon have you and your loved one mixing like professionals. Once you learn basic cocktail making skills like flavor pairings, how to shake a cocktail, and more, you can even create a signature cocktail together. 

If you enjoy this novel new date night idea – and we're sure you will! – next time you could even try out a mixology double date with another couple you love hanging out with, for twice the booze and twice the fun. 

2. Cocktail making classes make awesome experience gifts!
