This is not your typical hens night, this is a cocktail making hens party that slays.
If you’re the bride-to-be (or the legendary maid of honour planning it all), and you’re ready to ditch the same-old dinner and drinks, we’ll walk you through how to plan a cocktail masterclass hens party from start to finish, from what actually happens during a hens cocktail class, to what drinks you’ll make, how the class runs, what to wear, and even how to book it stress-free!
Whether you’re after something fun and interactive or only love the idea of sipping cosmos with your closest girls, a cocktail class is one of the most entertaining and Insta-worthy ways to celebrate.
Plus, it works for about every kind of bride, whether she’s the life of the party or more of a sip-and-giggle kind of gal.
And the best part? We bring these unforgettable cocktail making hens parties to life across Australia, with packages that are fun, flexible, and totally customisable.
What Actually Happens At A Cocktail Class?
So, what can you actually expect from a hens cocktail class? Think less lecture, more laughter, and a whole lot of cocktail magic.
- Welcome glass of bubbly on arrival
- 2–3 cocktails made per person with full guidance
- Grazing snacks + Insta-photo opportunities
- Private, exclusive group experience
- Mixologist tips, tricks & fun competition
First things first, your group is welcomed with a glass of bubbly (because obviously). Then it’s time to meet your mixologist, aka your go-to guy or gal for the night, who’s ready to show you how to mix, shake, and pour like a pro.
The vibe is laid-back and fun from the get go. You won’t only be watching someone make drinks, you’ll be hands on behind the bar, crafting 2 to 3 signature cocktails each. From mojitos and margaritas to martinis and fruity faves, it’s your chance to create something delicious… and maybe even discover your new go to order!
And don’t worry, this is not only drinks on an empty stomach. Most cocktail making hens party packages include grazing boards or shared plates, so you’ll have tasty bites to nibble on between rounds (and photo ops).
Expect a lot of laughs, a bit of friendly cocktail rivalry, and maybe even a shaker dance-off or two. Whether your bride is a cocktail connoisseur or loves a cheeky drink, this is an experience that brings everyone together in the best possible way.
Our Top Signature Drinks To Shake up
Let’s be real, half the fun of a cocktail making hens party is learning how to shake up some seriously delicious drinks.
And when they’re this pretty? Even better. These crowd-fave cocktails are not only easy to master, but they also look fab in photos and taste even better.
Here are a few of our all-time faves to get you inspired:
French Pear Martini
Elegant, sweet, and a little boujee, just like your bride! Think vanilla vodka, elderflower liqueur, and fresh pear juice. It’s classy, refreshing, and absolutely Insta-worthy.
Porn Star Martini
A hens night staple for a reason! This fruity fave mixes vanilla vodka with passionfruit and a cheeky Prosecco shot on the side. Sweet, sassy, and oh-so iconic.
Cotton Candy Champagne
Yep, it’s as magical as it sounds. Drop fluffy fairy floss into a glass of bubbly and watch the magic unfold. It’s equal parts cocktail and showstopper.
Ultimate Margarita
Crisp, zingy, and always a hit. This tequila-based classic is easy to customise, go spicy, fruity, or keep it traditional with lime and salt.
Blushing Bride Fizz
A flirty little combo of vodka, cranberry, and fresh lime with a splash of soda. Simple, pink, and perfect for a hens celebration.
Of course, every bride is different, which is why we can help customise your cocktail menu based on your group’s vibe. Got a signature drink in mind? Let us know and we’ll shake it up for you!

What To Wear And Bring For Your Masterclass
When it comes to a cocktail making hens party, there’s no strict dress code, but let’s be real, it’s the perfect excuse to dress cute, sip pretty, and take a million photos while you’re at it.
Here’s what to keep in mind:
- Dress For Fun: Go for comfy casual with a glam twist. Think flowy dresses, jumpsuits, or elevated jeans and a nice top. You’ll want to look fab for the group photos, but still be able to shake a cocktail without worrying about a wardrobe malfunction.
- Expect A Splash (or two): It’s all hands-on behind the bar, so wear something you won’t mind getting a little citrus juice or sugar syrup on. Maybe skip the silk or all-white fits, just in case.
- Hair Up Or Styled Back: If you’re mixing drinks like a pro, hair out of your face is a good call, plus it keeps things cooler when the cocktail shakers get wild.
- Phone Fully Charged: Trust us, there’ll be plenty of moments you’ll want to capture. From the first toast to the final shake-off, this is hens night gold for the ‘gram.
- Bring ID: Especially important if your cocktail class leads into a night out or you’re heading to another venue after.
And hey, if you’re ever unsure, ask our team when you book. They’ll fill you in on all the finer details, so you can focus on looking cute and shaking things up!
