Cocktail Making Classes

We host the majority of our public masterclasses at TT Liquor, where we have 4 dedicated masterclass lounges that are fully set up when you arrive – freeing you up to make cocktails continuously for 2 hours without waiting for anyone to set anything up for you.

We provide you with your own professional bartender, who will be your dedicated host for the session. After putting together a reception cocktail for you and your guests, they will then guide you through 4 different cocktails, letting all your guests in on the various tricks of the trade to make your drinks taste better than ever. The perfect skills for your guests to take away with them to show off to their friends at their next garden party or barbecue.

You receive a welcome drink, make 4 cocktails each and in teams make a competition cocktail to present to the class.

No. Each bar comes fully stocked, so that everyone on that bar (max 5 guests per bar) can make cocktails throughout their masterclass, with no interruption and no standing around watching. At our flagship Shoreditch venue, we can perform a masterclass for up to 210 guests, all still receiving the same experience and all still making cocktails together!

Our expert bartenders are at the very top of their profession and are rigorously trained to deliver the best cocktail making experience possible for groups of up to 80. Their job is to be entertaining and engaging with all your guests, while simultaneously offering unparalleled insights on how to make your cocktails taste amazing. You may not get it right the first time around, but they will work attentively with each member of your group to hone their skills.

Our cocktail classes can be enjoyed by budding mixologists from 18 years of age and above. Everything we do is geared towards making it an event to remember for you and your group.

Yes, of course, we pride ourselves on our inclusivity and flexibility. We are able to seamlessly swap out alcoholic components with some of the best premium non-alcoholic products on the market, meaning nobody is left out. Please be aware that we cannot teach the molecular class as mocktails as the drinks rely on the alcoholic content to work.

You can buy a voucher from our website (maybe clickable link?). Alternatively, give us a call on 020 8003 7982 and we’ll happily book them over the phone for you.

They last 12 months exactly from the purchase date. If something comes up and you give us a call within that time frame, get in touch and we can be pretty flexible when it comes to extending them.

As soon as we receive a voucher order they’re sent out via first class post. Depending on how busy Royal Mail is, you’ll usually receive your physical vouchers in 2-3 working days.

Yes, of course. If you purchase them and just give us a call straight afterwards, or drop us an email, we’ll respond to let you know whether you can pick them up. Generally, if the liquor store is open you’ll be able to collect them in person. The shop is open Monday-Wednesday from midday-10pm, and Thursday-Saturday from midday-11pm.

Yes, we do. We can send printer-friendly vouchers over to you via email so there’s no need for you to wait for the postman.

The vouchers give you unparalleled flexibility when booking onto our public classes. Essentially, you don’t have to choose a specific date for your session – it’s an open voucher. We run our classes twice a week, generally – Friday from 7pm-9pm and Saturdays from 1pm-3pm. They work really well as a gift, for example, if you know someone who would love to come to one of our classes but you don’t know an exact date they’re perfect.

Our vouchers are non-refundable but we will be happy to reschedule you to a more suitable date.

We’re afraid our disabled access at our flagship Shoreditch venue is very limited at the moment. However, we do have a variety of other venues across London and the UK which have ample disabled access. Please highlight any disabilities in your party with your event organiser beforehand, and we’ll happily advise on a suitable venue.

Yes, of course. We have catered for deaf classes before, and generally the clients will have organised an interpreter. Again, let your event organiser know beforehand and we’ll do our best to accommodate.

No, unfortunately not in the classrooms for hygiene reasons.

No, due to our licence under 18s will not be able to attend your class in any capacity at any venue – non-alcoholic cocktails or not.

Our studios are about a 8 minute walk from Old Street Station. Once through the gates of Old Street tube we recommend taking the first right and exiting via Subway 1 and turn right at the end. On street level, you’ll see Albert House looming up to your right. Continue along Old Street and you’ll soon pass a big fire station on your left. If you continue following the road for another 5 minutes, you’ll soon reach Shoreditch Town Hall & the Bike Shed. Once you reach the intersection just past these landmarks, turn left and continue up Kingsland Road for 3 minutes until you reach a railway bridge. We’re on the other side of that, to the left.

Our purpose-built studios are about a 10 minute walk from Shoreditch High Street Station. You can take the 149 or the 242 from bus stop L on Shoreditch High Street. Take a left from the station. Take a left on Bethnal Green Road and walk right to the end, on to Shoreditch High Street – you should pass the Boxpark on your left. Continue along Shoreditch High Street until you reach the Old Street intersection. Once you reach the Old Street intersection, cross right over at the lights and continue north on Kingsland Road for 3 minutes until you reach a railway bridge. We’re on the other side of that, to the left.

TT Liquor is about a 15 minute walk from Liverpool Street Station. First off, take the Bishopsgate (West) exit. Once on street level, if you’re waking (15 mins), take a left. You can also use bus routes 26 (Stop F) or 149 (Stop E) to Waterson Street (Stop V). Once off the bus, turn right. TT liquor is located 50 yards on the left. If you’re walking, continue to walk north on Bishopsgate towards Shoreditch High Street. Cross over Great Eastern Street and on to Shoreditch High Street, then continue walking until you reach the Old Street intersection, near Shoreditch Church. Once you reach the intersection, cross straight over and continue north on Kingsland Road until you reach a railway bridge. We’re on the other side of that, to the left.

Yes. If you take us on privately and have a location in mind, we are also specialists in bringing the complete set up with us. All the bars, with all the equipment, all the liquor, fresh products and ice. You simply let us know where you would like it to be and we set it all up in less than an hour and a half. We then offer the same experience you find at TT Liquor at any location you can think of.

All your really need is an empty space for us to come and set up in, we can come to offices, houses, gardens, tents, rooftops… as long as we have the space and the access we can set up anywhere, you don’t need anything on your side at all.

We’d recommend you allow a space of about a meter and a half depth and a meter and a half-width for each bar. That allows enough space for the bars to be set up and for people to stand behind them. The bars are assembled on-site and pack down to be fairly compact so there’s no need to really worry about door-width.

We’re happy to work with most spaces but for instance, in an office, it wouldn’t work in a room full of desks. We also try and avoid using spaces with lots of columns or other obstacles that might block people’s view of the instructor. Anything on a slope wouldn’t be ideal either. We are based in London and are happy to come and do a site visit anywhere in the city if you’re unsure whether or not your space would be suitable.

Absolutely, we can do a class at any time of day, week or year. We just need enough time to set up all the bars beforehand and break them down again afterwards. This is usually between about an hour and two hours either side of the class depending on the size. We can be very flexible when coming to you.

Depending on your group size we will need 1 ½ – 2 hours before and after your class to set up and break down.

All we need is a clear space to set up. We will bring everything we need to host the class including, the bars, equipment, glassware, ingredients, ice etc.

Yes we have hosted classes outside before, just be aware we will need a flat ground to set up the bars properly.

We are based in London but can travel anywhere you need us. We have hosted cocktail masterclasses in Scotland all the way to Cornwall.

Currently we can offer; our classic masterclass, gin masterclass, rum masterclass, whisky masterclass, tiki masterclass, non-alcoholic masterclass, and virtual versions of all the above.

We are able to add food to most events at most venues upon request. At our flagship venue in Shoreditch, we have Good Fired Pizza who have taken up residence in our kitchen and are able to provide Neapolitan pizzas. We are also able to offer a variety of deli and charcuterie boards courtesy of Cobble Lane Cured.

Yes, it is certainly recommended. As you can imagine during two hours of making and drinking cocktails, it’s quite a good idea to line your stomachs. Even if the addition of food is a relatively last-minute decision, we will be able to cater to your needs if you get in touch with your event organiser at least 24 hours beforehand.

We usually serve pizza, bar snacks and deli boards at the beginning of your class with your welcome cocktail, but you can discuss this with your event organiser.

Yes we can offer vegetarian or vegan options, please ask your event organiser for details about our full range.

Shoreditch is packed with great places to eat, and you won’t need to spend an arm and a leg. A few we recommend are: Dishoom, Pizza East, Blues Kitchen, Princess of Shoreditch, 100 Hoxton, Tramshed. Click here to read our full list of recommendations, and for more information about what to expect at each.

No, there’s no dress code per se. Wear whatever you feel comfortable in, bearing in mind you will be on your feet for around two hours. If you’re coming in fancy dress, please ensure that you highlight this to your event organiser beforehand. Nothing too crude or crass, but generally you’re in a private room so you can come pretty much as you wish.

This will be shared when you make your booking, but we’ll need your confirmed numbers 7 days before the class is scheduled. This ideally will be conducted via email with your event organiser, who will send you your final invoice. If there are any changes less than 7 days before your class, it is unlikely that we will be able to amend the final invoice, so please keep in touch with your event organiser.

Generally, after a conversation with your event organiser about your event, you will need to put down a 30% deposit to confirm your booking and provide a home or company address to detail. This will all be sent over via email, along with the terms and conditions outlined. The final balance will be due a week before your class or event, generally once numbers are confirmed.

Once we have sent you the deposit invoice your event has been confirmed, therefore if you wish to cancel your event you must do this by email so we have written proof and you must do this at least 14 days prior to your event date to be eligible for a refund of your deposit. If you have booked your event with less than 7 days lead time, cancellation must be received within 24 hours of your invoice being sent to avoid liability of payment.

The balance of your event must be paid 7 days before your event, if payment has not been made someone from our accounts team will contact you to make payment over the phone.
