Masterclasses · Ayrshire, Glasgow & central Scotland
Cocktail masterclasses, wherever you are.
You are behind the bar, not watching someone else. Shake, muddle, pour and taste, with games running through it. From £45 per person, and we come to you.
What to expect
Party with cocktails, not a class.
Everyone gets their own station, their own shaker and their own drink to make. Our mixologist walks the room, shows you the technique, then gets out the way and lets you at it. Nobody sits and watches.
Games and challenges
- Speed rounds against the clock
- Blind taste tests
- Cocktail battles, table against table
- Shake technique showdown
- Everything supplied, nothing to buy
- Alcohol-free versions on request

Who it suits
Groups who want something to do.
Hen parties
The bit of the weekend everyone actually remembers. Works before a night out or as the whole night.
Birthdays
Thirtieths, fortieths, fiftieths. Everyone gets involved, nobody is stuck talking to the same person all night.
Work nights out
Better than another meal. Teams that compete over a shaker get on a lot faster than teams that sit in rows.
Group celebrations
Anniversaries, reunions, house parties and holiday lets. If there is a table and a sink, we can run it.
Areas we cover
We are based in Ayr and travel as standard across Ayrshire, including Prestwick, Troon, Irvine, Kilmarnock and Girvan, plus Glasgow, Renfrewshire and Lanarkshire. Stirling, Edinburgh and the rest of central Scotland are fine too, usually with a small travel contribution.

Cocktail masterclass questions
We are mobile and we come to you. Ayr, Prestwick, Troon, Irvine, Kilmarnock and the rest of Ayrshire, plus Glasgow, Renfrewshire, Lanarkshire, Stirling and Edinburgh. Houses, flats, holiday lets, village halls and offices all work fine.
Licensing
A word on licensing
At a licensed venue
Hotels, wedding venues, restaurants, golf clubs, anywhere with its own licence. Their licence covers the drinks. There is nothing for you to do and no extra notice needed.
At an unlicensed space
Private houses, village halls, marquees, community centres, holiday lets, offices and dry hire spaces. An occasional licence has to be applied for. We do that, not you.
It has to be submitted at least five weeks before your event date, so please factor that in when picking a date. Once your booking is confirmed we will be in touch to go through what we need for the application. It is straightforward and we do it all the time.
