Mobile bar services and cocktail packages

• Full Package (recommended): includes mixologist, bar, all spirits and ingredients, cocktail equipment, glassware, transport and collection. The client only chooses the cocktails. Includes a free cocktail tasting session to help decide the menu.
• Dry hire: the client hires the mixologist, bar, equipment and glassware, and receives a shopping list of ingredients based on the chosen cocktails. The client provides the spirits, ingredients and ice.
• Premium Cocktail Experience: the most exclusive option with master mixologists, a premium cocktail collection made with fresh produce and high-quality ingredients developed in their own lab, stylish glassware, full equipment and bar setup. Includes the option of a private tasting at the client's home or office before the event.

The company also offers a signature cocktail collection that uses fresh ingredients, international botanicals, sous vide techniques, infusions and bespoke extracts.

Cocktail masterclasses

The Cocktail Lab runs cocktail-making classes in three formats, designed for different group sizes and contexts:

• Dynamic masterclass: for groups of 10 to 60 people, lasting 2 to 2.5 hours. One mixologist and one mobile bar are assigned per 15 guests. Participants are divided into teams that rotate between stations to learn how to make different cocktails. Ideal for corporate team building and private parties.
