10 Cocktail Making Tips for Your Next Party

Planning a cocktail party at home? Whether it's a hen party, birthday, or corporate event, here are our top 10 tips to make it unforgettable.

1. Choose Complementary Cocktails

Don't just pick random cocktails. Choose a mix that offers variety — a fruity one, a classic, and something with a twist. Our curated packages do this for you.

2. Consider Your Guests

Think about your group. Are they cocktail novices or seasoned sipper? Our mixologist will adjust the difficulty level to suit everyone.

3. Clear Enough Space

You need roughly a 2m x 1m table surface, plus room for guests to gather. A kitchen or dining table works perfectly.

4. Add Games

Games make any cocktail party better. Blind taste tests, cocktail races, and 'most likely to' challenges keep the energy high and the laughs flowing.

5. Pick a Theme

From Great Gatsby glamour to tropical tiki, a themed cocktail party transforms your living room into a destination.

6. Don't Worry About Drinks

We bring everything — premium spirits, fresh ingredients, glassware, equipment, garnishes. You don't need to provide a thing.

7. Book Enough Time

A 2-hour class is the sweet spot — long enough to learn, make, and enjoy three cocktails each, without the evening dragging.

8. Include the Bride's Bespoke Cocktail

For hen parties, we can create a unique cocktail just for the bride — named after her, crafted to her taste. It's the cherry on top.

9. Think About Dietary Restrictions

Let us know about any allergies or restrictions in your group. We have a full alcohol-free menu and can mix and match.

10. Book Early

We recommend 2-4 weeks in advance, especially for weekends and peak season. But last-minute bookings are possible — just ask!
