Cocktail Classes in Bristol: Make & Drink 3 Cocktails

Learn to shake and stir like a bartender, then drink what you make

A 2-hour cocktail class in Bristol where you and your group get exclusive use of a private venue to learn how to make and drink three classic cocktails each. A live guide in English teaches you the techniques, and you make every drink yourself behind the bar. Minimum age is 18.

The experience

You arrive at a private venue in Bristol and spend two hours learning from a cocktail expert who walks you through the fundamentals of mixing, shaking and pouring. The class is hands-on from the start: you get behind the bar yourself, not watching a demonstration. Everyone in your group makes the same three cocktails, so you're all learning the same techniques at the same pace.

Each person makes and drinks all three cocktails they learn to build. You leave with the muscle memory of how to do it, not just the recipe. The venue is yours alone for the duration, so there's no crowd, no rush, and no one watching from the sidelines. This setup works for hens nights, birthday groups, or anyone who wants to spend an afternoon learning something they can actually use at home.
