Cocktail Masterclass

Behind the bar

Build the perfect cocktail.
From the bar with the best view.

Two hours behind the bar with our head bartender. Three cocktails made, three cocktails taken home in a booklet. Bar snacks throughout.

A class, not a party

Two hours. Three cocktails. Better than a bar tab.

Small groups, eight guests maximum. Cocktails you'll actually build at home. Bar snacks from the kitchen. The best view in Cheltenham, five storeys up.

The evening

What actually happens.

i.

Arrive

Welcome cocktail in hand within 90 seconds. Bar snacks come out. Introductions.

ii.

Learn

Balance, dilution, the six drinks every bar builds from. Why measurement matters more than showmanship.

iii.

Make

You build three classics under supervision. Shake, stir, strain. Taste as you go. Adjust to your palate.

iv.

Take home

A recipe booklet with the three you made, plus three more from our menu you can build with a home bar.

The classics we cover

Three drinks. Three techniques.

i. stirred

Old Fashioned

The starting point of every serious cocktail bar. Rye or bourbon, the sugar debate, why bitters are the whole game.

ii. built

Negroni

Three-ingredient perfection. Gin, Campari, sweet vermouth in equal parts. The one recipe you'll actually remember.

iii. shaken

Whisky Sour

Egg white or aquafaba. Dry shake, wet shake, why the foam matters. The most technique-heavy cocktail on the menu.
