1. Cocktail making classes are a fun way to embrace your creativity
We all have a creative side, and cocktail making classes allow us to express this in a fun new way!

Taking some time out to get experimental with spirits and mixers at one of our classes is a great way to clear your mind and embrace your creativity in an experience that encourages you to get inventive.
You’ll get to choose which brilliant beverage you bring to life, whether you’re a sour drink superfan looking to get fancy with lemon gin or if you want to craft an excellent espresso martini for a much-needed pick me up — you’ll be whipping up drinks like a budding bartender in no time at all. Cocktail making is the perfect opportunity to increase your creative confidence and absorb some new knowledge from one of our friendly mixology professionals.
Whether you choose to go it alone or bring along your partner to shake it up at one of our couples cocktail making classes, you’ll discover a great new creative outlet that will help you express your talents and forget all about your everyday worries. Once you’ve finished your class you’ll feel an increased sense of motivation that will drive you to develop your skills and maybe even stock up a home bar to practice your new mixing abilities
2. Mixology classes will help you connect with the local community
Whether you’re a lifelong resident of the SF Bay Area or you’ve only recently moved to the city, you can never be too connected to your local community — feeling connected is a brilliant way to boost your mood and increase happiness. Busy weeks and remote working mean a lot of us are glued to our screens and we can feel pretty limited in terms of our social network. Creative cocktail making classes are a great opportunity to mingle with a new group and meet some like-minded others.
Our wonderful mixology classes take away the need for awkward introductions and small talk and instead offer up a creative experience that will have you bonding with others over your shared love of cracking cocktails. Who needs to talk about the weather when you’re mixing up a Moscow mule or decanting a dry martini? The atmosphere and ambience in our classes will let you rest easy knowing there’ll be no awkward silences as you get to know each other. You’ll discover potential new friends along with a whole host of new skills. Plus, you don't even need to drink alcohol to enjoy a creative cocktail experience – we have dedicated mocktail making classes and most of our cocktail making workshops offer alcohol-free options. Just ask before you book!
3. Cocktail making could be your new hobby
We’re all guilty of spending way too much time scrolling social media and watching reruns of our favorite shows, which makes finding productive hobbies important. Getting creative with cocktails is one of the top things to do in San Francisco and will help you discover new talents and boost your confidence. You’ll get the chance to put away the phone and turn off the TV as you tune into a mentally stimulating activity in the heart of the city instead.
Don’t worry if this will be your first time stepping behind the bar, creative cocktail experiences aren't just for mixology maestros — it’s a great stress-relieved and a suitable activity for absolute beginners. Learning from a brilliant bartender, you’ll learn fun cocktails to make and you mix, muddle and pour your way to a top-notch drink—
During your cocktail class, you’ll develop fresh skills and discover new passions that you can turn to whenever you need a little more time for yourself. Instead of picking up the TV remote, you’ll be heading for your cocktail shaker so you can impress your friends and family with your new mastery of mixology.
