What To Expect During a Lisbon Cocktail Making Experience

Mixing drinks is an art form, and the best way to learn how is by having a go yourself. That's why we offer a variety of top cocktail making experiences in Lisbon that will leave you feeling like complete pros, even if you've never mixed up a cocktail before! Your exciting, interactive cocktail making experience will be hosted by a friendly, professional mixologist, who’s a real expert in all things cocktail. They’ll start off with a brief introduction to the history of cocktails and their ingredients, before showing you all how it's done with some detailed drink demonstrations. They’ll walk you through the techniques step-by-step and will share their knowledge and best tips along the way. It’ll then be your turn to get behind the bar and get shaking! Once you’re done mixing up each drink, you’ll be able to sit back and enjoy them while chatting with the rest of the group and having a laugh - this is sure to be an unforgettable experience that the whole group will love!

What If I Don't Drink Alcohol?

If you or any members of your group don't drink alcohol, then not to worry as many of our experience providers will be able to offer mocktails. Expect all the same fruity, flavoursome goodness, just without the booze. If you need to switch the cocktails for mocktails, we'd suggest getting in touch with your chosen experience provider in advance to see if this is possible. This can easily be done by submitted an enquiry via Fizzbox.

What Drinks and Cocktails Are Popular in Lisbon?

The national drink of Portugal is Port Wine, but there’s also a brilliant variety of cocktails that are really popular here too, perfect for enjoying in that gorgeous Lisbon sun! First up, the Caipirinha; sure, it’s originally from Brazil, but this cocktail has gained a lot of popularity in Portugal. If you’ve never had one before, it’s made with Cachaca, (a Brazilian spirit), lime, sugar and ice! Other drinks from Portugal include the Porto Tonic, Poncha and Ginjinha.

Cocktail Making Etiquette

When it comes to a cocktail masterclass, there aren’t loads of strict rules to follow, however we do ask that you and your group show respect to your mixologist host at all times. Give them the space to talk and lead the session and refrain from interrupting - there will be plenty of time for questions after their demonstrations. We’d also say be open minded and be willing to get stuck into the activity and have some fun if games are included during your experience. An absolute no go is pre-drinking and arriving to the experience drunk. Keep it classy and be sure you’re in a fit state for the experience!
