Learn how to navigate your way around a cocktail shaker. Attend on your own to meet new people, or book with family and friends!

    Have you mastered the basics of creating cocktails and want to learn more? We have just what you need – an different version of our Patent 5 Distillery Cocktail Class with fun twists on classics to create modern cocktails. This class builds on our first cocktail class (which is not a prerequisite) with new techniques, new recipes, and advanced classics to add to your repertoire. You will learn how to make three cocktails using Patent 5 spirits, the history behind the cocktails, the proper way to make them, and a handful of tips and tricks to use at home or wherever you find yourself making cocktails.

    Rum Cocktail Class

    “If you like pina coladas, and getting caught in the rain…”

    Robert Holmes

    A class to celebrate our Manitoba made rum in some delicious sippers that have become synonymous with the spirit. There are many drinks we are familiar with but what exactly is a Mai Tai? What is the best way to make a Pina Colada? Put the premixed bottles away and come join in on this tropical themed cocktail class to find out! With our Cocktail Class instructor’s extensive experience in the cocktail world and specific passion for tropical drinks and flavours, they will guide you through a hands-on lesson where you will make some classic favourites the way they were meant to be enjoyed.

    Whisky Cocktail Class

    Whisky is a refined spirit to use well in a drink. Unlike many other spirits, it demands respect. Making a mistake behind a bar feels like a waste of good whisky, and can be intimidating for newer bartenders. Let’s help take some of the pressure off! Our instructor will go over 3 classic whisky cocktails that have been notorious for being delicious when they’re made correctly, but terrible when made poorly. You will create cocktails such as Old Fashioneds, and Whisky Sours. These classics have not changed much since their conception, and for good reason!

    Halloween Cocktail Class

    This Halloween, join us for an evening of spirited mischief and mixology magic. You’ll learn to conjure three cocktails, each with a dark side if made carelessly, and pure enchantment when done right. Our instructor will guide you through the alchemy of balance, flavor, and flair, so you can stir, shake, and summon with confidence. Beware: in this class, the only thing scarier than ghosts… is a poorly mixed drink.
