May Cocktail Masterclasses 2025

Spring has officially sprung, and we’re not just talking about the sunshine peeking through Edinburgh’s clouds. May is the month of wild celebrations, from ancient Beltane rituals to galactic battles in a galaxy far, far away—and here at Summerhall Distillery, we’ve bottled both into two delightfully different cocktail masterclasses.

🌸 May Queen Flower Crowns and Cocktails

Flower crown making

Date: Thursday 1st May
If you like your gin served with a side of flower power, this one's for you. We’re teaming up with our favourite floral host for an evening that’s equal parts creative and delicious.

You’ll craft your own fresh flower crown and sip on two beautifully floral Pickering’s Gin cocktails designed to put the spring in your step and the May Queen in your heart.

Included:

  • 2 stunning cocktails featuring Pickering’s Gin
  • 1 handcrafted flower crown (made by you!)

Perfect for a girls' night, date night, or just an excuse to drink something that tastes like May Day in a glass.


Star Wars Cocktail Masterclass

Star Wars Cocktail Masterclass

Dates: 2nd - 4th May
On the most important unofficial holiday of the sci-fi calendar, the Force is strong with this one.

Join our expert mixologists for a hands-on cocktail masterclass inspired by the Star Wars universe. Whether you're channelling your inner Jedi or embracing your Sith side, you’ll shake, stir and sip your way through three galactically good cocktails worthy of the Mos Eisley Cantina.

Included:

  • 3 cocktails per person
  • Expert mixology guidance (no Jedi mind tricks needed)
  • Interstellar vibes and good banter

Costumes are welcome, lightsabers optional, and bookings highly recommended.
