We now also run cocktail making workshops at your venue. This can be complete with a full stand up presentation on some interesting facts about the major spirits and liqueurs of the world, the secrets of how to make your own yummy, scrummy cocktails and a plan of the key ingredients, the flavours and how they fit together in your collection.

So if you’re part of a group, and you think your group would be interested in the world of spirits, liqueurs and cocktails, then let us know.

Cocktails - we'll show you how to make your own - simples!

You can now book us to come and run a presentation to show you how cocktails are made. This could be an ideal subject to offer your company conference delegates as a contrast to all the business ‘stuff.’ We can also run it as an interactive workshop too, giving your staff the opportunity to ‘get involved.’ (This does depend on numbers though of course!)

Alternatively you may be looking for a refreshing and different subject at your group, association, networking group or club’s forthcoming meeting. 

We can tell you about ;

• the difference between spirits and liqueurs
• where they started (we’ll keep it general!)
• why whisky / whiskey has 2 different spellings
• Why cocktails are associated with prohibition and the United States

And then we’ll tell you a bit about ;

• The basic structure of a cocktail
• How you can use it to develop your own cocktails (we do this regularly – it’s a dirty job but someone has to do it!)
• Top tips on making cocktails
• Top tips on where to buy your ingredients

Our presentations on things relating to spirits, liqueurs and cocktails are of course orientated around the size of your group, the time allocated and of course what your group wants out of our presentation.

If you think a presentation on spirits, liqueurs and cocktails would hit the button for you, send us an e-mail to fun@cocktailshakerboys.co.uk with a few details about your plans. Alternatively, pick the phone up and give us a call on 07890 103172.

We run cocktail parties at your home of course or hired venue and can run presentations around the Midlands : in Birmingham, Coventry, Leicester, Northampton, Kettering, Corby, Wellingborough, Thrapston, Daventry, Loughborough, Coalville, Oakham, Uppingham and Rutland.

Party goers with Kir Royales - Christmas at the Angel Hotel

We served Grasshopper (one of our favourites as you know), the classic green apple martini, Tequila Sunrise and Kir Royale. Plus we offered our in-house developed mocktail the Pacific Sunrise for the drivers. Not that there appeared to be many of them. More details follow here  http://www.cocktailshakerboys.co.uk/index.php/home/latest-news/christmas-cocktails-a-bit-of-an-office-party/     

And we’re even going to try adding a short movie too of some of the action ! Though we’re having some technical issues with this at the moment.
