What Is a Mobile Cocktail Making Class?

A mobile cocktail making class is a fully hosted mixology experience brought directly to your venue — home, holiday cottage or Airbnb — including the spirits, fresh ingredients, professional equipment and a charismatic host.

In Southport, your group learns to shake, muddle and pour three cocktails each across a two-hour session, with party games woven throughout.

Hosted by Buff Butlers

Led by professional, charming buff butlers in Southport, the masterclass combines hands-on cocktail making, games and genuinely good hosting.

It is a standout entertainment choice for hen parties, milestone birthdays and private celebrations across Southport and wider Merseyside.

Cocktail Making in Southport: A Local's View

Southport is a classic Victorian seaside resort, which shapes the kind of celebrations we host here.

The Open Is Coming — Book Early

From 12–19 July 2026, Royal Birkdale hosts The 154th Open, the 11th time golf's oldest Major has come to Southport. The town and its accommodation book out fast that fortnight.

Lord Street, Without the Queues

The tree-lined, glass-canopied boulevard of Lord Street is the heart of Southport's independent bar scene. A class at your place gives you all the cocktails and none of the waiting.

A Pier in Transition

Southport Pier has been closed since 2022 and is now part-way through a £20m restoration, with reopening expected around 2027. The seafront, Marine Lake and promenade still make a great backdrop.

Beyond the Front

Groups staying toward Ainsdale and Birkdale's dunes, or near Formby's National Trust pinewoods and red-squirrel reserve, are all comfortably inside our travel area.
