I arrive with everything needed to turn your kitchen or dining table into a working cocktail bar, from premium spirits to professional kit. After a short introduction, I guide you through three carefully chosen cocktails, showing you the techniques behind each before you step in and make them yourselves. Everyone creates the same drinks, which keeps things flowing and avoids the usual chaos of too much choice. There’s plenty of tasting along the way, with stories, tips and the odd behind-the-bar insight woven in naturally. By the end, you’ll know your way around a shaker and have a few solid favourites to return to.

If you’d rather stay firmly on the sipping side, I can host a more relaxed cocktail experience where I prepare drinks for you and your guests. This works well as a pre-dinner drinks hour or a centrepiece for a longer evening, with a small menu of cocktails agreed in advance. The focus here is on atmosphere and flow rather than instruction, with drinks served at a steady pace so everyone can enjoy the moment. Depending on the setup and location, this may require additional planning in line with licensing requirements. It’s a more flexible format, designed around the feel of your gathering.
