Cocktail Making Workshop Team Building Activity FAQs

 

What is a corporate cocktail making workshop?

Guided by our award-winning cocktail flair bartenders, your team will learn how to prepare, mix, and serve classic cocktails while enjoying plenty of friendly competition.

A corporate cocktail making workshop combines practical learning with entertainment, making it an excellent choice for companies looking for something more engaging than a traditional team-building session.

How long does the cocktail making workshop last?

The activity can run for approximately 1 to 2.5 hours, depending on your chosen format and event requirements. This flexibility makes our cocktail workshop for corporate events easy to incorporate into conferences, company celebrations, away days, and wider corporate event programmes.

How many participants do you recommend for the activity?

The cocktail making workshop we host at Firebird Events is suitable for approximately 10 to 300 guests. This broad capacity makes it a fantastic option for everything from smaller departmental get-togethers to large company-wide events.

For larger groups, your guests can work in teams, keeping everybody involved and creating an energetic, competitive, atmosphere throughout the session.

Your team will be guided through the processes behind creating great cocktails, making the corporate cocktail making workshop an enjoyable way to discover new skills in a relaxed and sociable environment.

What will your team learn during the workshop?

There is much more to the experience than simply following cocktail recipes. Your team will explore liquor knowledge, cocktail-making procedures, front-bar skills, and presentation techniques.

Our cocktail learning for corporate events also introduces participants to which spirits complement one another and where different spirits and liquors originate, adding an informative element to the fun.

Will your team get to try cocktail flairing?

Cocktail flairing brings another entertaining dimension to the workshop. Following a demonstration from one of our expert bartenders, your team will have an opportunity to try bottle juggling for themselves.

Bounce mats and plastic bottles are provided for this part of the session, allowing everyone to get involved and enjoy learning some attention-grabbing bartending moves.

Is there a competitive element to the workshop?

Friendly competition is one of the features that makes our cocktail workshop for corporate events such an engaging team experience. Participants work together, learn new techniques, and ultimately put their developing mixology abilities to the test.

It is a brilliant way to encourage communication and collaboration while giving colleagues something memorable to talk about afterwards.

What happens during the cocktail-making finale?

Towards the end of the workshop, each team will be challenged to design their own cocktail and give the creation a suitable name. Your team can bring together the techniques they’ve learned during the session, including cocktail preparation, presentation, and even flairing.

Teams are then invited to the bar to present their creations to the other participants and trainers, providing a fun finale to the experience.

The activity takes place indoors, and sufficient space will be needed for the mobile cocktail bar and participants. As our bar can measure between 1.5m and 3m, venue doors should be at least 1m wide to allow the equipment to be brought into the event space.

Checking access arrangements in advance helps us deliver a smooth set-up for your event.
