Cocktail classes are a creative way to reconnect
Learning how to make a mojito isn't just a great way to relieve stress and help your team unwind. Bartending classes make fun team-building activities that can also have some significant positive impacts on your colleagues' mental and physical well-being. After all, research has shown that learning a creative new skill offers various benefits to our overall health, including boosting self-esteem, improving focus and concentration, and even helping with hand-eye coordination and dexterity.
Even better, if you all learn how to make cocktails together, you will find this activity to be a great social leveler, as no matter what position you occupy at work, you'll all be on the same level as you discover what it takes to become a pro bartender. This can help your teammates feel more deeply connected and foster a strong sense of teamwork.
If that wasn't enough to convince you, cocktail making - like baking or painting - has its own artistic and creative aspects, as you learn how to mix different flavors to create a delicious drink. As well as learning how to make the perfect margarita, you could also embark on your own palette-pleasing adventures and create a brand-new signature cocktail that reflects your personal tastes.
Foster a sense of friendly competition
If you and your team members are of the opinion that a little friendly rivalry never hurt anyone, then you're sure to appreciate a thrilling Bay Area mixology masterclass brought to you by The Natural Mixologist. This lively two-hour session kicks off with a welcome drink to get you all relaxed and in the mood, before diving right into the mixing, muddling action, as your skilled instructor teaches you the tricks of the trade.
Once you've tried replicating a drink created by your teacher, you'll then move on to the competitive portion of the event - replicating the popular TV cooking show, Chopped. Split into small groups, you and your team members will be presented with mystery baskets of cocktail ingredients, which you have to combine into the most inventive, original beverage. The winning drink at these cocktail making classes will be rewarded with a prize. What could be more thrilling?
The perfect holiday party ideas
Cocktail classes aren't just fun team-building activities – they're also a popular option for office holiday parties or a cocktail birthday party with friends. Whether you’re based in Oakland, San Mateo or Berkeley, simply book a session that suits you and your team and our friendly expert will come to your chosen venue, bringing everything you need to mix and muddle in style. Add some extra festive fun by coming up with a themed cocktail-making session, and be sure to bring along plenty of tasty nibbles to make the party atmosphere complete.
Cocktail making classes make for great holiday party ideas because they're casual, non-denominational, and spirited, of course! Everyone can easily get involved and not feel intimidated by a difficult lesson or stressful assignment. Instead of going out for drinks at a crowded bar after work hours or doing holiday crafts that will leave you with unwanted holiday decor or sweets, enjoy a lesson in mixology and enjoy a drink or two. There's no better way to kick off a Christmas vacation or New Year's holiday than with a toast!
