Corporate Cocktail Making Classes in Nottingham
A team building activity people genuinely look forward to. We bring a full cocktail bar and a professional mixologist to your office, meeting room or hired venue anywhere in Nottingham. From £35 per person, minimum 10 guests.
Team building that isn’t excruciating
Most corporate team building falls into one of two camps: trust exercises nobody wants to do, or a meal where everyone sits with the people they already talk to. A cocktail class avoids both.
It’s genuinely participatory, so quieter members of the team aren’t left out. It’s paired — one shaker between two — which mixes people up naturally. There’s a competition at the end that gets competitive in the way office teams enjoy. And it takes about the length of an afternoon, so it fits into a working day without writing the whole day off.
We come to you, which means no travel time, no booking a venue, and no trying to get thirty people across Nottingham at 5pm.
Good for
- Team socials — quarterly get-togethers, end of project, welcoming new starters
- Christmas parties — an alternative to the same restaurant every December
- Client entertaining — more memorable than dinner, and it gets people talking
- Staff rewards — target hit, contract won, good quarter
- Away days — as the evening activity after a day of sessions
- Conferences and networking — a drinks reception where people actually mingle
How a corporate class runs
- Setup. We arrive ahead of the start and build the bar. A boardroom table, a breakout space or a kitchen area all work fine.
- Welcome drink. Something in everyone’s hand as they come in from their desks.
- The masterclass. Technique, a bit of history, and the reasoning behind why a drink is built the way it is.
- Everyone makes their own. Paired up, working through several cocktails.
- Team competition. Teams invent a drink and pitch it. This is the part people talk about the following week.
- Clear-up. We leave the space exactly as we found it.

Corporate booking FAQs
Can you invoice our company?
Yes. We’ll issue an invoice with your PO reference and standard payment terms, so it goes through your finance process like any other supplier.
Are you insured?
Yes — we can provide our public liability certificate on request, which most offices and managed venues will ask for.
Can you run it in our office?
Almost always. We need table or worktop space, a plug and access to a sink. Boardrooms, breakout areas and office kitchens all work. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
How long does it take?
Long enough to fit inside an afternoon or an early evening without taking over the whole day. Get in touch and we’ll agree timings that suit your schedule.
Can you do an alcohol-free version for the whole team?
Yes. A fully alcohol-free mixology class works just as well as a team activity and removes any awkwardness around who is and isn’t drinking.
