Shaking a drink yourself is a livelier group booking than ordering one at a bar. Both of Melbourne's cocktail classes on this page are run inside working distilleries, so the session comes with a look at how the spirit is made as well as time behind the bench.
Little Lon Distilling Co. makes small-batch gin in a red-brick 1877 cottage tucked off Little Lonsdale St in the CBD. Private groups of eight or more can book a class with a mixologist, or hire the cottage and its gin garden for an event, with prices from $95 per person.
Starward Distillery & Bar makes whisky in Port Melbourne and has its own bar on site. In its hands-on class each guest shakes one signature drink and stirs another, and it starts from $49 per person. Starward is listed for adults only.
How the two compare:
For a session built around tasting rather than mixing, see Melbourne wine, gin and beer experiences, or follow the class with dinner in one of the city's private dining rooms.
Starward Distillery & Bar runs guided tours of its working whisky distillery, and Little Lon Distilling Co. includes its copper still room in the gin masterclass.
