Cocktail Classes Sunshine Coast

A cocktail class turns drinks into the activity: a host walks the group through a few recipes, explains the spirits, and everyone shakes and tastes their own. On the Sunshine Coast, the Mooloolaba Esplanade is a handy base, close to restaurants and accommodation, so a class can open or close a night out without anyone needing transport mid-evening.

Questions that shape a good booking:

• Format. Ask whether it is a cocktail masterclass, a whisky or tequila tasting, or a mix, and how many drinks each guest makes.
• Numbers. A private session for 2 to 25 suits anything from a couple's birthday to a team outing.
• Price. Hosted masterclasses start at $95 per person; check whether food is part of it or ordered on the side.
• Timing. An afternoon class before dinner keeps the pace gentle; a later one leads into a night out.
• Occasion. Hens, bucks, birthdays and work groups are all common bookings.

Line up food and a safe way home before the day; the coast is spread out, so where guests stay matters. For other ideas see hens party, bucks party or team building.
