Getting Cocktail Classes Right in Darlinghurst

Rather than shaking someone else's recipe, guests at Bondi Liquor Co build their own gin. The small-batch distillery moved from Bondi to McLachlan Avenue in Darlinghurst, where it makes gin, vodka and fruit cellos by hand and runs a gin making class of an hour and a half.

No gin knowledge is needed. Head distiller Connor develops the house recipes, and the class walks the group through how each botanical shapes the spirit.

How the class unfolds:

  • Behind the scenes: it opens with a look around the distillery.
  • Smell and taste: guests work through a spread of botanicals before blending.
  • Three trials: everyone adjusts their balance across three recipe attempts.
  • Bottling: the final blend is bottled and labelled in a 200ml bottle to take home.
  • Price: from $140 per person, with light nibbles along the way.

Public classes take 1 to 12 people, and private classes can be arranged for 4 to 30, which suits a birthday, a date night or a team event.
