You're spoiled for choice for cocktail making classes in Newcastle, so grab a few friends and get ready to shake, stir and sip your way to a memorable evening out.

Whether you're planning a stag or hen party in Newcastle, want to celebrate your birthday in style or just fancy a night out with a difference, a cocktail masterclass is always great fun - especially as you get to enjoy your creations afterwards!

The Botanist

Quirky venue The Botanist in Newcastle city centre is known for its super-creative cocktails, and its mixologists are only too happy to share their knowledge with you at their Cocktail Masterclasses. They offer a choice of themed cocktail making classes so you can pick the one that best suits your party, plus you'll have your own private area so you can feel like real VIPs.

Banyan

Banyan is a glitzy bar and restaurant known for its creative and signature cocktails, so why not learn how to make them yourself guided by your own personal bar tender? Participants will learn the skill behind the emerging trend of short and long drinks, and gin lovers are in for a treat too with gin masterclasses available, where groups can learn industry secrets on mixing gin-based drinks. The gin masterclass is £29.95 per person whilst the cocktail masterclass starts at £25 per person.

Colonel Porters

Situated at the bottom of the striking Dean Street in historic Milburn House, Colonel Porters is bursting with character. Learn the magic of mixology with Colonel Porters’ Chief Chemist who’ll surprise and delight you with tips about how to make one of their ‘tremendous concoctions’. With 80 varieties of rhum available you also have the option of taking a rhum masterclass. Tasting is of course compulsory!

Florita's Miami Bar and Tropical Garden

Stylish and sassy, Florita's Miami Bar and Tropical Garden really leads the way in Newcastle cocktail making classes for hen parties. Not only will you be spoiled with cocktails, shooters, party games and sweets and finger food (if you like), but you can add a 'Butler in the Buff' to your class too to make it extra cheeky! It'll be a night out with the girls that you'll be talking about for years to come, so be sure to bring your camera.

Revolution Bar

The focus is firmly on fun in the Cocktail & Mixology Masterclasses at Revolution Bar Newcastle, and you might find yourself handcuffed to a partner while attempting to create a cocktail, riding the 'vodka train' or even taking a dreaded chilli shot - but it's all part of the fantastic experience. To fuel your party, you can upgrade your class with nibbles or even a two or three course meal, making it the complete night out in Newcastle for cocktail lovers.

Livello

Down on the Newcastle Quayside, chic cocktail bar Livello offers the perfect way to kick off your night along the Tyne with their own take on the Cocktail Masterclass, which you can enjoy in their exclusive Opulenza VIP Lounge. And once your class is over, you can stay to make the most of your private booth and dance to the live DJs, or head to one of the many other stylish bars and restaurants on the Quayside with arguably the best view in the city.

Blackfriars Restaurant and Palour Bar

Fans of a bit of history and heritage with their cocktail making can enjoy a bespoke cocktail masterclass at Blackfriars Restaurant and Parlour Bar. Based in a converted friary which dates back to 1239, Blackfriars is a stunning location for a sophisticated evening of cocktail creation. With prices starting at £26 per person you and up to 13 guests can enjoy a glass of fizz and cocktails on arrival before picking up some top tip from one of their dedicated mixologists.
