Private In-Home Cocktail Class in San Diego

Bring your group together for a private, hands-on class led by a professional bartender who's also a trained entertainer. Get behind the shaker rather than watching a demonstration, with approachable recipes you can recreate after the party.

• Practice muddling, shaking, and garnishing as you make your drinks
• Explore recipes such as a PB&J Old Fashioned or a Hazelnut Espresso Martini
• Try mocktail options including a Cucumber Mint Cooler and Citrus Basil Smash

Itinerary

1. Arrival & Setup (30-45 mins before class starts) - your bartender will arrive and greet your group. They will then start preparing for the class by setting up the instruction space and prepping ingredients
2. Welcome & Introduction (10 mins) - your bartender will give you a brief overview of the experience, what makes a great cocktail, and teach about some bartending basics
3. Cocktail Instruction (~25 minutes per cocktail) - your bartender will talk through the origins of the cocktail, its ingredients, and how to make it. This is interactive so follow along and start mixing!
4. Wrap Up (5 mins) - your bartender will answer any remaining questions and offer bonus recipes or take-home tips. If time allows, they make more drinks for the group using leftover ingredients!
5. Cleanup & Departure (45 mins) - your bartender will need to clean up the instruction area as well as bar tools! Please make sure you have a sink available for this!
