Popular Cocktails in Our Hens Cocktail Making Packages
One of the best parts of a hens cocktail making class is the drinks menu and ours is as exciting as your bride’s playlist. From signature classics to cheeky twists (plus mocktails for the non-drinkers), your hens cocktail making party has a drink to match every guest’s taste.
Cocktails Your Hens Crew Will Love
Margarita: The ultimate hens night toast. Tangy, salty, and the perfect “cheers to the bride” moment.
Espresso Martini: Because every party needs a pick-me-up. Smooth, strong, and guaranteed to keep the laughs flowing.
Cosmopolitan: Pretty in pink, totally chic, and always a hens night favourite (yes, Carrie Bradshaw would approve).
Mojito: Fresh, minty, and perfect for warm-weather celebrations or sunny rooftop vibes.
French Martini: Sweet, smooth, and a little bit fancy, ideal for brides who love a touch of glamour.
Passionfruit Caipiroska: Tropical, tangy, and basically summer in a glass.
Don’t Forget the Mocktails!
We believe every guest should have something fabulous in hand which is why our cocktail making hens parties always include delicious mocktail options. Think Virgin Mojitos, fruity spritzers, and creamy coconut blends. They’re just as pretty, just as tasty, and perfect for clinking glasses alongside the rest of the crew.
Signature Bride’s Cocktail
Many of our hens cocktail making packages have a unique creation only for the bride-to-be, complete with personalised garnishes, extra sparkle, or a cheeky name that’ll make everyone laugh. It’s a photo moment you won’t want to miss.
Can You Customise Drinks in a Hens Cocktail Making Party?
Part of the fun of a hens cocktail making party is customising the cocktails to fit your bride and the vibe you’re going for. So yes, you can absolutely customise the drinks at your cocktail making hens party.
With us, you’ll often get to pick from a set menu of cocktails when you book. This might include classics, creative signatures, or seasonal specials designed by the venue’s mixologists.
Some hens cocktail making packages offer a drink format with set recipes, while others let each guest choose their own. If you’re planning ahead, you can even chat with our team about themed drinks to match your celebration.
When it comes to keeping everyone happy, a quick group survey in your hens chat can help you decide which cocktails to choose. You’ll want a mix of sweet, sour, fruity, and strong so there’s something for every taste. And don’t forget to include a mocktail option for the non-drinkers!
Cocktail Masterclass Themes for Your Hens Night
At your hens cocktail making party, the drinks aren’t just for sipping they’re part of the décor! Think tropical vibes with Mai Tais and Piña Coladas, a 90s throwback with Blue Lagoons and Midori Illusions, or a pink party with Watermelon Martinis and Rosé Spritzers.
Whether your bride’s style is classy sophistication or cheeky fun, your cocktails can match the mood perfectly and look just as fabulous in the photos as they taste in the glass.
Drinks, Laughs & Insta Moments
A hens cocktail making party is so much beyond simply learning how to mix a drink, it’s a full-on social experience.
Expect plenty of laughs as your mixologist leads you through each step, with cheeky challenges like fastest shake or most creative garnish keeping everyone on their toes. There’s always a healthy dose of friendly banter, and the bride is, of course, the star of the show.
Insta-worthy moments are also everywhere, the bride shaking her first cocktail, the group raising glasses for a cheer, or your mixologist showing off a flair trick mid-air.
Most of our venues are designed to impress, with rooftop lounges, glam bars, or intimate private rooms that make the perfect backdrop for those IG-worthy photos.
What to Wear to a Hens Cocktail Making Night
When you’re mixing, shaking, and sipping cocktails, the right outfit makes all the difference. You want something fun, Insta-worthy, and comfortable enough to move around in while still bringing that hens night sparkle.
Outfit Inspo for a Cocktail-Making Class
- Chic but Practical: Floaty dresses, cute co-ords, or stylish jumpsuits are perfect. You’ll look glam but still be able to shake a cocktail shaker without worrying about wardrobe malfunctions.
- Shoes that Work on the Move: Swap stilettos for wedges, block heels, or chic flats. You’ll thank yourself when you’re shaking, stirring, and laughing through games.
- Add Some Sparkle: Feather boas, glittery sashes, or novelty sunnies bring the party vibe and make for Insta-worthy group shots.
- Matching Bride Squad Pieces: Think personalised tees, sparkly headbands, or themed colour palettes. These little touches tie the group together and give your photos that extra pop.
Seasonal Style Tips
- Summer: Light and airy dresses, flowy skirts, or cute playsuits keep things breezy and comfortable for rooftop or garden cocktail classes.
- Winter: Chic blazers, jumpsuits with sleeves, or layering with stylish jackets keep you warm while still looking glam for indoor cocktail bars.
If your bride is the centre of attention (as she should be), let her outfit shine with an accessory that sets her apart, like a statement sash, a glitter crown, or even a cocktail glass prop just for her!
