Top 4 Cocktail Masterclasses in Edinburgh
Edinburgh is brimming with different kinds of cocktail masterclasses, from restaurants, bars, and distilleries hosting them. These masterclasses are great for any individuals who are looking to hone their mixology skills, couples who are out for a date night, or groups of friends wanting to celebrate a special occasion. Here are our top 4 picks.
1. Pickering's Gin Cocktail Craft Masterclass

Ok, yes we've listed ourselves here... But, we've just launched our brand new cocktail craft masterclasses. Every week, you'll discover the art of mixology with our expert bartenders as they reimagine three classic cocktails with a quirky twist - all held in our Edinburgh Gin Distillery.
Every masterclass will have a different rotation of cocktails, so no class is the same! Here's a taste of some of our favourite cocktails we made last year; Bakewell Sour, French 45, Chocolate Martini, Sparkling Pear, Smoked Negroni, and a Dirty Chai Martini.
For just £35, you'll get three cocktails, some nibbles, and the opportunity to be your very own mixologist.
Potion Making at The Cauldron

Edinburgh is renowned for its Harry Potter legacy, so it's no surprise there are many Harry Potter themed places around the city. In terms of cocktail making The Cauldron have a potion-making experience with working magic wands.
You get a welcome drinks poured with your magic wand and two molecular cocktails to brew. If you want to live out your Harry Potter fantasy, this is the cocktail masterclass for you.
