What Should I Wear to a Cocktail Masterclass?

The dress code varies from venue to venue, but we think if you’re celebrating something special, you’ll want to dress to impress. Failing that, smart casual is always a good idea. Some venues might not allow fancy dress or hen party inflatable so it’s always best to check. If you have any questions about the bar, pub, club or restaurant’s dress code, make sure to ask the experience provider when you place your online enquiry. They’ll let you know what’s expected from you and you can go from there. If there are any members of your group who don’t drink alcohol, please let the experience provider know and they’ll let you know what they can offer your drink instead. Some venues will teach you how to make non-alcoholic cocktails instead of boozy cocktails. That way, you can all the fun of the masterclass without any of the alcohol. Plus, you won’t get a mean hangover in the morning!
