Larnaca Cocktail Making Workshop: Learn Bartending & Make 3 Drinks

You shake, build and taste every cocktail you make

A two-hour cocktail making workshop in Larnaca where you learn bartending fundamentals, choose the spirits you want to work with, and make three cocktails from start to finish under the guidance of hospitality professionals. The session takes place in a restored 1880s khan next to Saint Lazarus church, and you leave with a booklet of techniques to practice at home.

The experience

What makes this different from watching someone else work the bar is that you're the one holding the shaker. You'll learn real bartending technique (how to build, shake, and layer drinks), and execute three cocktails according to your taste. The guides, hospitality professionals since 2009 and recognised at the Cyprus Hospitality Awards 2025, work with you on Cypriot classics like Brandy Sour or Commandaria, or they'll build the session around whatever spirit you actually drink: gin, rum, whisky, brandy, or Zivania. You choose the bottle. They teach the rest.

The workshop runs two hours in a small group setting inside a building that functioned as a khan, a travellers' inn, back in 1880, positioned next to the Saint Lazarus church in the heart of Larnaca's old quarter. You'll work with premium spirits and proper bartending equipment, and the session includes a welcome drink and bottled water. When you leave, you take home a booklet of fundamentals so you can keep practicing the techniques once you're back.

Top questions

What languages is the tour guided in?

Live guide in English and Greek.

Can I choose which cocktails I want to make?

You pick the spirit you want to work with (whether that's a Cypriot classic like Brandy Sour or Zivania, or gin, rum, whisky, or whatever you prefer), and the guides build the session around your choice. You'll make three cocktails total, each one tailored to what you actually drink.

What's the building like where the workshop happens?

The workshop takes place in a restored khan, a historic travellers' inn from 1880, located next to Saint Lazarus church in central Larnaca. It's the same kind of space where people ate, drank and slept on their way through the city centuries ago.

Do I need bartending experience to join?

No experience is required. The guides teach you the basics of bartending, the bar tools, and techniques like fermentation and layering from the start. You'll execute every drink yourself during the two hours.

What's included in the workshop?

The session includes a welcome drink, use of all bartending equipment, bottled water, and a booklet of fundamentals to take home. You make and taste three cocktails you've built yourself.

How many people are in a typical workshop?

Groups stay small so the guides can work with you individually. The exact group size isn't specified, but the emphasis is on a personal, hands-on experience rather than a large class.
