This was the perfect way to kickstart my sister's Hens party! Chris and Byron are really friendly and super fun. The location is a large warehouse-like flat with deconstructed aeroplane decor. Very Newtown-esque. The cocktails were also really tasty :) Would recommend!

We did this class for a hen's night and had a great time! Kind of hard to enjoy making and drinking cocktails though. The guys were great fun and we learnt a lot about Aussie native plants how to include them in our drinks. The cocktails themselves were delicious too Thanks for having us!

Absolutely loved this class and would highly recommend, especially for group events! Everything from the quirkiness of the venue, to the delicious cocktails infused with native Aussie plants (with some growing right in their front yard). We also really appreciated the education and sustainability aspect of the class; the guys are super knowledgeable and hilarious.
Don't even think twice; just book it in!

Teacher greeted us in a Pilot's Uniform, the airline theme was fantastic. The warehouse had chairs and 'tables' comprised of old airplane seats and flight trolleys. Not even the hailing rain could ruin the experience.
Definitely attending their Kombucha classes later this year.
(Full disclosure my impressions might be a bit biased by the cocktails we made and drank)

Great classI really enjoyed it. Chris is a natural entertainer, friendly and knowledgeable. The venue is quirky and fun, and the class size (7) was perfect for engagement. We made four cocktails - all unusual and delicious. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because it seemed to move so fast - I'm a 'girlie swot' by nature, so would have liked to take notes and dive into more discussion on the native ingredients, but the pace and set-up didn't seem conducive. I'd do it again though, and certainly recommend it to anyone!

Really enjoyed this fun class; ideal for beginners; affordable; nice relaxed atmosphere and a great use of native ingredients. All that was missing was a recipe sheet to take home as I couldn't remember all the ingredients and measurements after drinking the 4 cocktails we made.

Class was awesome it is located in a warehouse decked out like a plane hanger! Random airline theme. Guy running the class was awesome super knowledgeable on native plants and drinks! We made 4 cocktails total, they were easy to make and absolutely delicious i loved all of them. Will say i thought we might learn how to make some of the liquor using native plants but apparently its quiet complex. Regardless had such a blast, great idea although a heads up we were definitely very on our way to drunk post 4 cocktails so I definitely wouldn’t drive. Fun class

Did the native ingredient cocktail making course, really well done. All equipment and ingredients were set up and ready, great organisation. The teacher, Chris, kept things moving at a good pace so there was enough time to do everything but no hanging around waiting.
There were only eight in the group so we had all the attention we needed. Chris demonstrated first then we got to make our own and they were yummy!

We learnt to make a nice mix of different cocktails in groups of 3-5 people per trolley. Ingredients were supplied, had to do a bit of walking around to other groups to get some missing bits.

Chris was a wonderful teacher! Both engaging and intelligent he first demonstrated then encouraged us through making our own cocktails (x4), but also provided us with the skills to forage for our own natural ingredients in the neighbourhood to take our cocktails to the next level. This is a must do experience for anyone who wants both a fun night but to learn how to take cocktail making to the next level!

This was the second time I’ve done the cocktail making class with Chris, because my boyfriend and I enjoyed it so much the first time! This time was at the new rooftop garden location and a group of 13 of us booked a private class. Chris was great as usual - so knowledgeable and really makes the class loads of fun. The cocktails are absolutely delicious, and so much better for the infusions Chris makes with the native plants. Chris is super accommodating and I’d highly recommend this class, either as part of the group classes or as a private booking - both experiences were brilliant. All 13 of us had a fantastic afternoon. Thanks Chris, we’ll probably be back for more at some point! :)

Lovely spot at the rooftop garden to mix and drink cocktails. The recipes and especially the making of the mixers was a tad rushed so you maybe don't walk away planning to make them yourself at home. The drinks were a good veriety and easily and enjoyably consumed. The additional visit by "Gardening Australia" celebrity, Clarence, with his knowledge of Aussie native flora was great.

What a fantastic class, Chris was so helpful, informative and fun, just the right amount of information and making drinks!
A perfect balance, much like the amazing cocktails we got to make, all of the girls loved them with quite a few stating they were the best they'd ever had.
The venue isn't in a bustling area but it's a great spot away from the noise with some awesome native plants to enjoy on a rooftop
Highly recommend

Chris was a fantastic instructor -- funny, energetic, knowledgeable. We made four cocktails from interesting ingredients. They were all delicious. Only downside was that the class felt a bit rushed. I would have appreciated a slower approach so that I could learn foundational concepts. Some were briefly covered ("strong versus weak, sweet versus sour", infusing flavours in all components) but deeper exploration would have been valuable. Location was incredible -- it was great to enjoy the four cocktails on the rooftop garden.

We got to make 4 delicious cocktails on a beautiful rooftop in Kings Cross. We all took turns making the cocktails following detailed instructions, in a small class of about 7 people, with all of us standing around the mobile bar. It was a lot of fun, but also a lot of information to take in quickly - probably best for a social, fun event, instead of a truly in-depth educational 'class'. Still loved every bit of it!

The class was wonderful! On a rooftop garden that had a lovely backdrop of Sydney's sunset. It was a small intimate class of 9, including myself and my 2 besties for a birthday celebration. The teacher was incredibly talented and knowledgeable about his craft & ecology alcoholism (inside class joke but very suiting). Would definitely recommend to those that are starting out with the art of cocktails and getting into nature as well, to those that are already a master and looking for something fun to do!

I could not recommend this course more highly! The venue was great, the cocktails were so delicious and the instructor was lovely and so well knowledgeable/ easy going. From the get go you hear about the sustainably of all ingredients and why it’s so important to look locally for delicious cocktails/
Ingredients. This course was a huge highlight of 2020 and a day to remember, 10/10.

Our teacher was engaging, informative and knowledgeable. We learnt about the base composition of a balanced cocktail, as well as information on infusions and and variations. I always wanted to know what creates the foam in cocktails and now I do! This course also focused on Australian ingredients, enlightening me to what you can find in your own backyard. While these cocktails are quite complex to replicate, I feel that I have been empowered to try and figure out some cocktail mixes of my own!

We would generally pick wine over cocktails but are very interested in learning about native ingredients and ways to use the bush tucker we are trying to grow in our garden. Chris is a marvellous teacher - engaging and knowledgeable. His knowledge of the plants is prodigious. We learned the botanical names and where these plants grow. But not only that, we learned about how to make syrups and infusions with them. And, we learned how to make the most delicious drinks. Pouring the ingredients into the shaker and shaking them ourselves was so much fun. We will definitely be making cocktails at home now. It was brilliant. Thank you so much

It’s been awhile since I was in the classroom but cocktail making class tonight was tops with very chilled and informative teacher Chris. Considering licensing restrictions and C19 outdoor rooftop- downtown Redfern was perfect! Our “students” were lots of fun too! Aussie/ French family and a very cute loved up Chilean/Aussie couple and my daughter and I - Xmas gift to me! So an experience for everyone- me thinks.
Delighted to hear Chris found a way to stay employed during C19! Go out there and support him.

We had an excellent time sharing a cocktail making experience with Chris. He has a great formula, and it is so inspiring to learn about the unique plants found in Australia. It creates exotic tastes and every recipe we made was delicious. Chris is friendly, funny and knows a lot about local flora. Sipping beautiful cocktails while feeling inspired and learning new stuff, this is a winning formula. Ready to do it again!

Chris from Tippled was very knowledgeable and engaging with everyone in the class. Made everyone feel comfortable and involved no matter how experience they were.
The eco/native ingredient spin on the course and Chris’ whole philosophy on cocktail making makes for a lot better experience than a basic ‘step 1,2,3’ style cocktail class.

Initially I thought how will native ingredients work with a cocktail? I was pleasantly surprised by how natural and tasty every single cocktail tasted and amazed at the knowledge and skill of the bar tender who cleverly worked his Ansett hostess trolley as we got ‘tippled’. Great fun & so informative, highly recommended.

This was a great class for a hens night activity! It was less a "class" as more of a very quick roadshow of some native ingredients, with a little bit of hands-on shaking and mixing. (Not sure if this was more a product of this being a silly hens time?)
The instructor was really flexible with the timing for our private class - as well as accommodating for a couple vegan attendees. A big thanks for kicking off our evening well!

Chris as a host and teacher and the class itself were amazing. We booked a private class for 14 people for my sister's hens party and every single person commented on how fun and informative it was and how delicious the cocktails all were! The location was in a great spot and was easy for us to head off to our dinner afterwards. I would highly recommend this class for anyone wanting to learn more about the history of alcohol, Australian native ingredients even Greek mythology! Chris just knew it all! And to top it off was highly charismatic and definitely knew how to make a good drink! 5 stars!

4 delicious cocktails, 2 hours of laughs and good vibes, and 1 seriously knowledgeable teacher made for a fantastic way to spend a Saturday afternoon! Chris was super friendly from the outset, making sure everyone felt comfortable and welcome before jumping right in to the fun stuff.
The class was held on the cutest little rooftop herb garden in the heart of Redfern, but never fear, there's an indoor option in case of any rain (we had to retreat inside for the second half of the class).
Chris was a wealth of cocktail, alcohol and Aussie native knowledge, mixing plenty of interesting history with his deep understanding of, and passion for, native and sustainable Australian ingredients. We left the class feeling very inspired (not to mention equipped with the skills!) to incorporate a native ingredient twist into future home cocktails - thanks Chris!

It was my girlfriends birthday so I took her to a cocktail class, honestly had way more fun then expected and Chris was extremely knowledgeable about everything and it was just great vibes all around 10/10 recommend.

Chris was a lovely guy and clearly experienced mixologist - he facilitated so much fun into our night and we had a great time.

Loved it. Excellent chats and really great ingredients. Will come again!
Super cool to come to something relatable but with a bunch of class. Thanks Chris!
