Cocktail making & spirit tasting classes

Do you think you could become a master mixologist? Muddle, shake and serve up stunning cocktails with your friends. Taking a cocktail class is such a fun evening activity, and you can truly learn how to make (and taste) the best drinks in the business!

Harvey Nichols in Leeds is running classes on Galentine’s Day, with each session lasting for 60-90 minutes and including the creation of three different drinks. Classes are unique, as the specific theme and ingredients used change frequently.

With the guidance of this class, you’ll be the host stirring up margaritas’ and espresso martinis in no time at all.

Sit back and sip with a gin-tasting class, with informal but informative expertise, and absorb the history of what goes into a beloved G&T.

You even end the session by taking home a 70c bottle of your own gin making it the perfect Galentine’s gift idea too! There are plenty of bars in Leeds to explore too, if you want to continue your night out.
