Mobile Cocktail Making Class in Leeds
Shake, stir and taste your way through an evening at your Leeds flat, rented house or function room with a mobile cocktail class from Buff Boyz. Your host brings the bottles, mixers, glasses and shakers, demonstrates each recipe, then hands the tools to your guests. Over two hours everybody makes three cocktails your group selects from a menu of ten. Pay £38 a head for a clothed mixologist or £45 a head for a buff butler host; travel is quoted on top, bookings start at ten people, and nobody under 18 can join in. It’s a party activity, not a professional bartending course.
Leeds cocktail class at a glance
| Planning point | For Leeds |

| Per-guest price | £38 (clothed mixologist) or £45 (buff butler host), plus travel from your LS postcode |
| Smallest group | Ten booked; a no-show doesn’t reduce the bill below ten |
| Drinks | Three per person, one shared selection for the whole party |
| Supplied | Every bottle and mixer, the fruit, ice, glasses and equipment |
| Your venue needs | Clear counter or table space, running water close by, and approval from whoever owns it |
| City-centre addresses | Note a spot to unload crates on your quote request |
| Party food | Not included; stock up at Kirkgate Market (closed Sundays) |
How does the two-hour class work?
The host’s arrival and setup
Allow for him turning up about a quarter of an hour early. In that time he arranges bottles, ice and cut fruit for your three recipes along the counter or table. Neither the setup nor the clear-up afterwards eats into the two hours you’ve paid for.
Three rounds, demonstrated then mixed
For every recipe he makes a demonstration drink first, talking the group through each step. Then it’s over to the guests: measure, shake or muddle, strain, garnish. Each person drinks their creation before the next recipe starts.
Games, pack-down and finish
Between drinks he runs party games that put whoever you’re celebrating at the centre. Photos with him are fine once he’s agreed. When time’s up, he packs every piece of kit back into his crates and leaves.
Which host suits your group?
| Host feature | Mixologist | Buff butler |
|---|---|---|
| Outfit | His own clothes | Bare-skin apron (front-covering) with collar, cuffs and bow tie |
| Rate | £38 a head | £45 a head |
| Nudity | None | None: full nudity is not part of the service |
| Picked by | Birthday parties and groups who mainly want the cocktails | Hens after a bit of flirty fun with their drinks |
You get identical recipes, teaching and games from either, and both are chosen for their hosting experience. No touching the host, whichever you choose.
Which cocktails can your group make?
Your group settles on three of these ten ahead of time, and every guest makes that trio; it’s how the host knows what to pack.
| Drink | Made with |
|---|---|
| Mojito | White rum |
| Piña Colada | Rum |
| Cosmopolitan | Vodka |
| Espresso Martini | Vodka |
| Pornstar Martini | Vanilla vodka |
| Woo Woo | Vodka |
| Sex on the Beach | Vodka |
| Blue Lagoon | Vodka |
| Southside | Gin |
| Gin Fizz | Gin |
Who can attend, including non-drinkers?
Think hen weekends, milestone birthdays and private parties of ten-plus adults who want to make the drinks themselves. Before booking:
- Adults only: every guest, drinking or not, needs to be 18 or older.
- Non-drinkers: they join each round making alcohol-free versions, at a reduced per-head rate that your quote sets out, and they count towards your ten. Give the mocktail number on the quote form.
- Allergies: list them on the quote form so the team can advise before you book; with one shared station, cross-contact can’t be ruled out.
- Big parties: numbers aren’t capped. For a large group, ask about a second host when you request your quote; it’s priced for your party.
Price, group requirements and travel
| What you pay for | Leeds pricing |

Local insights: planning a cocktail class in Leeds
Unloading the kit at city-centre addresses
Everything arrives in crates, ice included, so getting it inside matters. Apartment blocks near Leeds Dock or the Calls may have no visitor bays and a fob-only entrance. Use the quote request to say where he can pull in briefly, which door to use and whether there’s a lift, so the class starts on time.
Party food from Kirkgate Market
Food is yours to arrange. Kirkgate Market, entered from Vicar Lane, trades 8am to 5.30pm Monday to Saturday and shuts on Sundays (Leeds Markets); Visit Leeds calls it one of Europe’s largest indoor markets (Visit Leeds); hours checked 18 October 2026. Booked a Saturday evening class? Pick up nibbles there in the afternoon. For a Sunday party, buy them the day before.
