BOOK YOUR TICKET HERE.
Calling all cocktail enthusiasts! Shake up your dating game with a group of 24 high-spirited single guests at this unique masterclass, led by the mixology magicians at The Alchemist.
It’s good times guaranteed as we learn step-by-step how to prepare one of The Alchemist classics in a lively and interactive session with the odd surprise along the way! Whether you’re a little Old Fashioned or more Cosmopolitan, you’re sure to find something (and possibly someone) that stirs your senses as you shake it ‘til you make it with this fun-loving crowd. So, don’t be a Moscow Mule, come along! It will be best fun you’ve had mixing and mingling in a Long (Island iced tea) time.
Arrive at 19:30 to be welcomed by your host who will direct you to the private event area, offer you a name sticker, and give you the low-down on how things will work.
For the masterclass, you will be split into mixed groups designed to break (or crush?) the ice, get the conversation flowing, and identify a shared passion (fruit Martini) with your fellow mixologists. Between sessions, you will be mingling with other guests or have the chance to sip back, relax, and discuss the art of a perfect Negroni with a new-found connection.
The cocktail creation that you lovingly prepared is included for your enjoyment and any other drinks can be purchased locally from the bar. Your host, who has been referred to as ‘pretty fly for a Mai Tai’, will be on-hand throughout to ensure the cocktails and good times flow. Following the event, a resident DJ will be playing for those in the party mood.
Post-event matching will be available on your It’s a Date dashboard where you can continue the conversation or schedule a second date at your own pace.
