COCKTAIL MASTERCLASSES IN BATH

What a cocktail masterclass in Bath involves

You arrive, you descend, and the city above disappears. Your group is met by your own private bartender, a showman as much as a maker , who pours a welcome drink and sets the scene amid the taxidermy, flickering candles and oxblood velvet. Then the bar becomes your classroom. Over roughly ninety minutes you're walked through the craft behind our menu: how to balance sweet against sour, when to shake and when to stir, how a single garnish turns a drink into a spectacle. It is hands-on from the start. Expect shakers rattling, a little spillage, a lot of laughter, and the quiet pride of lifting a glass you built yourself.

Who a cocktail making class is for

In short: anyone who likes a good drink and a good story. Our masterclasses are private and tailored to your group, which makes them a natural fit for a hen do in Bath , the bride leading the shake-off, sashes optional but encouraged. They're a memorable birthday for someone who already has everything, a smart team treat that doesn't feel like work, and a gloriously different way to mark a reunion or a milestone. Groups of all sizes settle in beautifully, and for the most exclusive affair the masterclass can be hosted privately in the Secret Room, which seats up to fifteen with its own bartender and karaoke for when the shaking is done.

What you'll make

Each session draws from our list of bespoke craft cocktails, so the line-up bends to your group's taste. You might master a properly built classic, then take on one of our theatrical house creations , the kind that arrive smoking, perfumed or set aflame. Your bartender guides every pour, but the choices are yours: a touch more citrus, a bolder spirit, a garnish of your own design. Not everyone in the room has to be mixing, either. We pour wine, gin and beer throughout, so the cheer squad is well looked after while the makers work. By the end you'll leave with a couple of recipes worth stealing and the confidence to recreate them at home.

How to book a cocktail masterclass in Bath

Because every class is private, the best first step is simply to tell us your date and numbers. Head to the masterclass page and send an enquiry, or make a booking and we'll shape the experience around your group. We host Monday to Saturday from 5pm, midnight earlier in the week, and through to 2am Thursday to Saturday for those who want the night to run long. Weekends fill quickly, so for hen parties and milestone birthdays a little notice goes a long way.
