Cocktails & Spirits

Yes! You'll be shown how to make all sorts of cocktails. So if you've always wondered what goes into a Black Russian, or want to learn the best way to make a Mojito, these classes are for you. And you get to drink the fruits of your labour too. Result!

Images of Tom Cruise in that rather cheesy film are blown to smithereens (thank goodness!). Whilst it is quite artistic (flamboyant even), creating those flavoursome mixes, you won't be obliged to toss bottles into the air accompanied by 80s music. Sorry Tom with your natty waistcoat, gelled hair and Cuban heels, cocktail making is a lot cooler these days!

In most cases you leave your class with loads of notes and handy hints, so you will be able to knock up fabulous cocktails and drinks at home. The 'cheat sheets' include the details of ingredients needed, a kit list and tips and hacks from expert mixologists and bar staff.

Venues vary according to the experience. Spirit tasting and cocktail making classes are often in licensed bars, whilst on gin and whisky making experiences you usually tour the distillery.

Yes we do. You can learn all about gin, whisk, rum and more with our distillery tours and spirit tasting experiences available at venues around the country.

Good question! The Scots call it whisky, the Irish call it whiskey. Either way this golden nectar is a staple favourite in drinks cabinets and bars around the world, so these experiences will teach you all about it!

Neat! OK you can add a drop of water to your wee dram of whisky, but if you're in the Highlands and ask for your single malt to be served with ice or (horror of horrors) lemonade, it will definitely cause a stir!

The cocktail making classes, gin tours, whisky workshops and everything in between are all designed to be entertaining. You'll have fun, but you'll also learn a lot too.

If you're on a whisky distillery tour, yes, you will see where the whisky is made and learn about all the processes involved, from mashing and maturing, to bottling and tasting.

If you've booked onto a gin making experience you will get to see how gin is made in a distillery using those fragrant juniper berries to create the famous tipple.
