How does an on-site cocktail workshop work?
The on-site cocktail workshop begins with a brief and lively introduction. Our cocktail mixologist explains which ingredients you’ll be using, how the bar tools work and what to bear in mind when shaking cocktails. This is followed by a live demonstration.
Next, you will get to work yourself. Together with your colleagues or friends, you shake three different cocktails and taste your own creations. There is plenty of opportunity for questions and your own variations; we tailor the workshop in advance to suit your group and schedule.
The duration is flexible: a workshop lasts 1.5 hours on average, and if we run a little over time, that is no problem. We will arrive well in advance for set-up, so you can enjoy yourselves without any worries.
The programme for the cocktail workshop
This is what a cocktail masterclass by Bar Company looks like from start to finish, in four steps.
- 1
Welcome and introduction
We kick off energetically: our cocktail shaker welcomes everyone, explains which fresh ingredients you use and how the bartools work.
- 2
Live demonstration
You’ll see up close how a professional makes a shake: from getting the proportions right to the garnish. Handy tips that you can then put into practice yourself.
- 3
Make your own milkshake
Now it is your turn. Together with your group, you shake three different cocktails, with plenty of room for questions and your own variations.
- 4
Tasting and toasting
Each round you taste your own creation. We finish together with a toast to your new shake skills; on average, you will be busy for about 1.5 hours.
Which cocktails or mocktails do you learn to make during the workshop?
During the cocktail workshop, you will be introduced to a wide selection of cocktails. From classics like the Mojito, Margarita and Cosmopolitan to unique creations that you devise together with our professional shakers. Would you like to try a fruity Daiquiri or a bold Old Fashioned? Or perhaps a tropical Piña Colada or a refreshing Virgin Mojito? Everything is possible.
We always work with fresh ingredients and various garnishes. If you have specific requirements or want to tailor the cocktails to your group or theme, we will discuss this with you in advance. This way, the workshop always matches the atmosphere of your event. And did you know that we can also run the workshop completely alcohol-free? Such a mocktail workshop is just as festive, but without the alcohol.
Take a cocktail workshop at home or on location
Our cocktail bartender brings everything needed: various types of glassware, garnishes, ice cubes and crushed ice, plus the bottles of alcohol and all the tools. We usually use the tables available in the room; if there are none, we bring poseur tables and dress them with black stretch skirts. This way, we can truly cater to any location, from office to living room.
Our bartenders will get everything ready and clear it all away afterwards too. You don't have to worry about a thing, other than tasting your own cocktail. We run our workshops all over the country: think of a cocktail workshop in Amsterdam or a cocktail workshop in Rotterdam, but we also regularly man the shakers in Utrecht, The Hague, Eindhoven, Nijmegen and the rest of the Netherlands.
