Shake Up Your Weekend with Fun Cocktail Making Kits

Hanging out at home has never been so fun with our online cocktail classes with kits! Shake things up with our master mixologists and learn the skills you need to complement your home bar. Once you get these martini-making skills down pat your home bar will be the envy of all your friends who come over to socialise.

Drinks ordered at a bar cost an arm and a leg, and are often gone in a jiffy. If you’ve been drinking the same old beverages because they’re the cheapest and you know how much they’ll get you buzzed, you need to shake up your weekend and start making cocktails at home.

Luckily, our cocktail making kits offer the perfect solution and enable you to learn the recipes for as many drinks as you want. The kits come with all the tools you’ll need to whip up your concoctions: from bar spoon to jigger, to Boston shaker and recipe card – you’ll have everything you need delivered right to your doorstep. Your nights out can be nights in at less than half the cost — all while in comfy shoes.

If you're bored at home and looking for new fun indoor activities that don't include binge-watching The Office (again), mixing craft cocktails with your friends or loved ones is a great way to spend your days off. Invite them to join your virtual cocktail making class and turn it into a party, or ask them to come over and take the class together from the comfort of your kitchen. Since the lesson takes place entirely over Zoom, you can include the rest of your family no matter where they are in Australia. Zoom activities are a great way to make the most of your time with long-distance friends and family.

Of course, the best way to choose a class is to go with your favourite spirit. Can't decide because of our extensive selection of cocktail making kits? That's what we're here for! Check out a few of our favourites below... 

Spice up your virtual team building activities

Team building activities can be pretty boring, especially when they have a strong emphasis on goal-setting, productivity and other corporate buzz words. But, it doesn’t always have to be that way. You can schedule a fun event to promote a sense of community and camaraderie among your team by learning to make your favourite drinks together. Going out to a bar might seem like the solution, but sometimes you just can't beat the safety of enjoying drinks with a cocktail making kit while watching the instructor on Zoom. When it comes to online team building activities, our cocktail making kits are the perfect way to have fun with your coworkers — no matter where you might be in Australia.

These online lessons are not only safe but are sure to spark plenty of fun and hilarious moments. Learn about your teammates’ favourite drinks and show off an artistic side that rarely reveals itself across desks groaning under paperwork.

Perfect for beginners, this class doesn’t require you to have any bartending experience. The cocktail kits come with everything you need except for your desired spirit and ice. Colleagues who prefer non-alcoholic drinks can also use the same class to make fancy mocktails! Enjoy the newfound sense of enthusiasm and camaraderie that is sure to infect your team after such a fun class.

Rainy day activities that are guaranteed to warm you up

Got rained out of your plans because of La Nina? No surprises there! It's time to whip out your cocktail making kit and get creative. If it rains on a day when you’ve planned a special outdoor activity like hiking, surfing, or going on a picnic with friends and family, cocktail-making is the perfect indoor activity to fall back on.

Some of our DIY cocktail kits come with a simple shopping list, and others come with every you need, so you and your friends will be all set for a night of mixology. Simply tune into the Zoom class where you'll be guided by mixology experts on how to make classic cocktails, how to pair alcohols and how to understand which flavours pair well together. Let your creativity flow and you can see who comes up with the most imaginative and yummy drinks! At the end of the workshop, no one will feel like the day has been wasted.

Fun Zoom date ideas

Dating during the time of the pandemic can be quite challenging. If you're avoiding crowds and playing it safe, many of the best things to do in Sydney, Melbourne and beyond are off-limits, making it hard to think of cute date ideas. If you want to keep things fresh, cocktail making lessons might be the perfect solution! Show off how quickly you learn, or at least, have a good laugh as the two of you waddle your way through it. As long as the pair of you have fun and a decent drinkable cocktail comes out of it, the class will be a win.

These online cocktail classes are also perfect for creating fun conversation, cancelling out any of that first date awkward silence. If you’re organizing this lesson for a long-term partner, perhaps an anniversary gift idea, you are bound to learn some new things together. Every so often, people need a change in the routine to recharge their batteries. And what better way to do that than by learning how to be a bartender for a night?

Add booze to your party ideas

The holiday season is a great excuse to celebrate with friends and family! If you have a post-Christmas party coming up, take a mixology class beforehand and wow your guests with a special holiday cocktail. Think holiday cocktails like cranberry and pomegranate spritzers and eggnog. You can even experiment with peppermint and English toffee while you're at it. Set your holiday party apart from all the others with a specially designed holiday drink or Christmas cocktail that brings the season’s greetings. 

You could even go one step further and do a mixology class for your Christmas or New Year party! Guided by our community of local mixology experts, you and your guests are sure to have tons of fun – no experience necessary. A mixology class is a wonderful icebreaker and could be the ideal way to bring everyone together. Don’t be surprised if it takes the pressure off hosting duties, too.

So, if you’re bored of staying home due to self-isolation (or any other reason) and you’re looking for fun indoor activities in Melbourne, Sydney and all over Australia, check out our extensive collection of mixology classes! From gin to vodka to whiskey to rum, we have all your alcohol desires covered.
