With a dash of creativity, more than a few ounces of fun and guaranteed happiness—discover why cocktail classes in Melbourne are the best way to celebrate your special occasion in style!
Cocktail classes for team building events
Team building activities are often a source of major anxiety for employees. Too many have suffered through terribly thought-out corporate trust activities, droll event speakers, and messy pub crawls. Turn Friday office drinks into an interactive, full team experience with mixology classes in Melbourne!
Cocktail classes are like covert team building events. With the distraction - and reward - of alcohol, cocktail workshops have a way of subverting the delicate art of corporate team activities by establishing a festive environment! Cocktail making is a fun way to get your staff working together instead of just sitting and drinking.
It’s also the perfect activity to bring any new faces into the fold as it’s engaging and social in a pressure-free environment. If you organise it for a Friday arvo, your team will get the much-deserved drink they’ve been waiting for all day, and you’ll be able to get them bonding and working together.
Cocktail classes for birthday party ideas
Ahh yes, birthday parties. The holy grail of annual personal celebrations. It’s important to keep those birthday events fresh and exciting. If you’re willing to splurge a bit on either the birthday guy or gal or yourself (depending on who’s doing the party planning of course), mixology classes may be the perfect addition to your celebrations.
If like many, your birthday is a mix of family and friends, a cocktail class is a great way to bring them both together. Your family wants to spend some quality time with you, while you and your friends want to - shall we say - embrace the festivities. With cocktail workshops in Melbourne, you can, quite literally, mix the two together! Break down boundaries and have Nanna sipping an espresso martini with your best mates!
One of the best parts about cocktail classes in Melbourne is their versatility. Many can actually travel directly to you and offer special packages and additional extras to ensure your birthday party gets the bounce it needs! Cocktail classes can be a wonderful way to celebrate milestones, such as a 21st, or a 30th. Or, if you’re really feeling up to it, book it for a 60th and let the golden oldies show you how it’s done.
Cocktail classes for bucks parties and classy hens party ideas
If you're looking to add some fun to your bride or groom-to-be's special celebration, consider a cocktail making class for your Melbourne hens or buck party. This could be the perfect addition to help make some funny memories and spend quality time with loved ones.
Whether you’re organising a bucks night or a hens party, chances are that alcohol will play some part in the pre-planned agenda. How can it not? Melbourne has one of the best bar scenes in the country, and it would be a shame not to take advantage of this before the big day.
Taking it one step further with a mixology class, however, is sure to make the evening truly memorable. Gather your pre-marriage crew together and dive into one of the best cocktail classes in Melbourne on offer.
Get behind the bar and discover what it takes to shake a perfect martini, absolutely crush a cosmo, or marry the flavours in a margarita. Most cocktail workshops in Melbourne offer two to three cocktails, leaving you plenty of room - and time - to continue the festivities.
Cocktail classes for engagement party ideas
Before the hens night, there’s the engagement party. Now, we’re not suggesting you shake up some cocktails for both your engagement celebrations and your hens (but by all means, don’t let us stop you) but often engagement parties need a bit of jazzing up.
With cocktail courses that come directly to you, you can throw your engagement party at any venue, house, apartment or even your barnyard and a certified mixologist will make sure your party really gets going. It’s also important your guests do something with their hands before your imminent nuptials start becoming contagious, and everyone begins to feel the love in the air. Feel the love with Mojito making instead; there are far fewer politics involved here.
Cocktail classes as gifts for couples
Wedding anniversaries require a certain je ne sais quoi, and to be honest, a cocktail class in Melbourne may not be ideal. But if you’re looking for something small to spice up the evening or date night is coming up and you can’t think of anywhere to go, why not explore mixology-themed date night ideas?
Experience gifts are becoming more and more popular and learning to create a cocktail with your special someone is a unique way to let them know you enjoy their company. It’s important in a relationship to keep creating new memories, and shaking up a martini with your partner is sure to get sparks flying.
Get creative with summery Christmas cocktails
Celebrate the festive season in style with a private cocktail party! Whether you’re after ideas for your annual office Christmas party, or just want to practice your bartending skills with your family members so that everyone can have a go at shaking drinks during your Christmas BBQ, cocktails are such a unique and memorable way to pay homage to everyone’s favourite part of summer. Just imagine this, you’re lazing by the swimming pool in your favourite Hawaiian shirt with a fruity Pina Colada or a zesty Aperol Spritz, thinking back to the exciting, hands-on class that made it all possible! Sounds like the perfect Christmas to us.
When searching for the perfect cocktail Christmas gift ideas keep in mind you want something versatile, fresh and fruity. Luckily for you, private cocktail parties can be customised just for you and what you want to learn. Make sure to chat with your teacher about options while booking to ensure your holiday season is the best it can be!
Melbourne cocktail classes are as versatile as they are delicious and have a range of fun things you can do with your newfound skills. Plus, many local mixology schools do both public and private classes, so you can always enquire as to what’s best for you and your group. Happy shaking!
