Getting Cocktail Classes Right in Byron Bay & Surrounds

Byron Bay's cocktail class takes place inside a working distillery rather than a bar. The family behind it ferments, distils, ages and bottles its rum and gin in the same building on Banksia Drive, so the spirits in your glass were made a few metres away.

What a cocktail masterclass at the distillery involves:

  • Hands-on mixing: at Lord Byron Distillery, every guest builds two cocktails of their own and then gets to drink them.
  • House spirits: the bartenders work with the rum and gin produced on site.
  • Local ingredients: the rum begins as molasses from nearby cane growers and spring water from the family farm in the hills.
  • Setting: the tiki rum bar and distillery floor can host the group once the class wraps up.
  • Food: American-style smokehouse barbecue can be arranged to soak up the drinks.

The distillery takes birthday groups and corporate bookings, so it works for a milestone party or an after-work team session alike.
