What you'll do:

You'll mix, shake, and garnish your own cocktails in your own space, no bar tab, no travel, just two hours of hands-on fun with your group and a pro mixologist running the show.

• Choose your cocktails – Pick from a curated menu built around the occasion, then learn exactly how to make each one from scratch.

• Build your technique – Cristyana walks you through shaking, stirring, layering, and pouring so everyone actually knows what they're doing by the end.

• Craft show-stopping garnishes – The garnish portion is where the drinks get camera-ready; expect citrus twists, herbs, and a few crowd-pleasers.

• Make it at your venue – Whether you're at an Airbnb, home, or event space, the setup arrives with you; no one has to coordinate transportation or logistics.

• Take home your recipes – Every guest leaves with printed recipe cards so the skills (and the drinks) don't stop after the class.

This is a cocktail-making class designed for groups who want something actually interactive, not a demo you watch, but a class you do. By the end, everyone's made something they're proud of and had a proper laugh doing it.

Why we love it for your party:

• All-inclusive setup – Alcohol, premium ingredients, bar tools, glassware, garnishes, and recipe cards all travel with Cristyana; your only job is showing up.

• Travels to you – This is a private cocktail class at home (or wherever your group is), so there's no wrangling people onto a bus or booking a separate venue.

• Built for all skill levels – Zero bartending experience needed; the pacing is structured so no one feels lost or left behind.

• Small group focus – Groups of 8 to 20 mean everyone gets hands-on time and personal attention, not a lecture from the back of the room.

• Instagram-ready drinks – The garnish work produces visuals worth posting; cocktail photogenics are fully intentional here.
