The Cocktail Guru team was such a pleasure to work with! They were somehow able to plan this wonderful virtual event, managed to safely deliver almost 50 packages to multiple states across the US and even in Canada (in the middle of a pandemic and wildfires). We will definitely be back for a round 2. Our team loved our Guru as well, Darnell knows his stuff!

Ready to shake things up in your office?

Our cocktail gurus are the most sensational entertainers and skillful artists in the business. With a talent for breaking the ice and enlivening any crowd, they’ll have your group laughing and collaborating from start to finish.

Mixology made refreshingly accessible.

Seasoned educators, our cocktail gurus will demystify the art of mixology. They’ll illuminate cocktail theory and technique with plenty of practical instruction, witty banter and amusing trivia.

In 90-minutes we’ll distill the essence of mixology, and lead your group through the craft of building two or three delectable drinks, chosen to complement your event.

Ultimately, it’s a win for everyone.

Let’s uplift your group with an out-of-the-box educational event that delights the senses and stimulates conversation among colleagues. We’ll raise a glass to your team, and create a truly memorable bonding experience for all.

Responsible, professional fun.

Our cocktail gurus will create an environment where everyone can enjoy their drinks safely in good company. All servings are sample-sized, and we always promote responsible alcohol use. Non-alcoholic “mocktail” options are always available, and equally exquisite!

In Person. Virtual. Or Mixed!

We’ll unite your team – in person or virtually – and provide all the ingredients and materials for a uniquely engaging team-building event.

Our cocktail gurus will come to your location, wherever you are: anywhere in the US, and any venue. We’ll easily adapt to your space, whether a conference room or office kitchen, a hotel ballroom, bar, or beach park.

And if some (or all!) of your team is remote, we’ll video conference everyone into the juicy fun. Each remote participant will receive a list of liquors, mixers and garnishes they’ll need to provide to shake, pour and savor our luscious libations.

We’ll bring the same spirited joy to any combination of in-person, virtual or hybrid event.

Savvy preparation & smooth execution.

As cocktail gurus, we know that intelligent preparation is essential for a successful event. That’s why we’ll collaborate with you well before the big day to ensure you’re thrilled with everything we deliver.

We’ll get to know your organization in advance, and design our presentation to support your company culture and event goals. Our team will arrive onsite to set everything up before the event, and stay after to ensure a spotless clean up.

Stimulating excellence.

Our cocktail gurus are impeccable professionals who always bring their “A” game and inspire your team with their mixology mastery. We’ll stir up classy concoctions using only the freshest ingredients, top quality spirits and satisfying flavors.

Your team will be overjoyed with their new cocktail confidence, and positively elevated by the camaraderie created among colleagues.

Our mixologist, Cameron, was super engaging and made learning about cocktails FUN. Our client was very impressed and couldn’t stop talking about how awesome it was. Can’t wait to do this again with other clients!

NBC Sports would like to take a moment to thank The Cocktail Guru for making our team building activity so absolutely amazing. We had so much fun making drinks and the team challenge was the best. Everyone loved the event and we plan to book again for next year’s offsite. It was a complete success!

The Cocktail Guru did a spectacular job! Everyone was impressed with the kits that were sent (two bottles of whiskey, bar tools and all of the ingredients!). Our host, Darnell, was the best bartender/host. Some of our attendees said it was the best time they’ve had all year!

The Cocktail Guru’s signature drinks were delicious! He took a small bit of inspiration from us and created a drink menu that brought together our event. The hands on mixology was also a fun, unique activity to get our team and our clients working together.
