Cocktail Making Classes in London
Hoochin' hosts London's most hands-on cocktail masterclasses — at your office, your home, or one of our partner venues. No watching from the sidelines: every guest gets their own bespoke bar, luxury equipment and premium spirits, with our trained tutors guiding you drink by drink. Whether it's team bonding, a birthday, or just a very good excuse, our cocktail classes turn a group of mates into a room full of mixologists.
What Happens on the Day
Your cocktail making experience starts with a welcome drink while we set up your stations. Then it's two hours of shaking, stirring and muddling your way through four cocktails from your chosen menu — each of you making every drink yourself, with your own dedicated equipment and ingredients. We finish with a wee surprise at the end to test your new skills (no spoilers).
Expect controlled chaos, great music, and drinks you'll actually want to remake at home.

Your Menu, Your Rules
Every cocktail making class is built around your group. We can work together to curate a selection of cocktails for your menu, or we can create one for you based on your tastes — with menus designed to cater to the various palates present in a large group. And on the day, we can sweeten, strengthen, and swap in alternative spirits if anyone has had a bad experience with a certain liquor back in the day!
Where We Host — Your Place or Ours
Our cocktail making lessons come to you — office, home, or event space, anywhere in London and beyond. Prefer us to sort the venue? We host at a hand-picked list of partner spaces across the city, including The Bull in Westfield (Shepherd's Bush), Second Home in Spitalfields, and Strongroom Bar in Shoreditch. Further afield? Our partner venues stretch across the UK.
Mixology Classes for the Curious
Want to go deeper than the drinks list? Our mixology classes cover the craft behind the cocktail — balancing sweet and sour, why shaken beats stirred (sometimes), and the techniques bartenders don't usually share. Perfect for the friend whose fancy shaker is gathering dust at home. Mixology lessons can be woven into any class or booked as a session of their own.
