lab·o·ra·to·ry | ˈla-b(ə-)rə-ˌtȯr-ē — a place for experimentation, discovery, and invention. Most cocktail experiences teach you how to make their drinks. This one is designed for you to create your own. Please contact us directly for booking more than 2 people, as most likely we will have availablity for you. Rather than following recipes, you’ll explore a fully equipped drink laboratory with hundreds of ingredients and specialized tools rarely available outside professional or experimental settings. It’s a space built for curiosity, where you can test bold ideas, unexpected flavor combinations, and techniques you wouldn’t typically try at home. The experience is intentionally unscripted after the introduction, so no two sessions—or drinks—are ever the same. Guidance is always available, but the focus remains on creative freedom, personal expression, and discovery. Also available as a mobile lab for offsite private events for 13-250 attendees.
Full Access to Specialty Bar Tools and Lab Equipment
Alcoholic beverages
Please contact us for any attendees under age 21. Access to a selection of spirits for guests 21+. Alcohol is optional—guests are equally encouraged to explore sophisticated zero-proof creations.
Bottled water
Still and sparkling water provided to use with experimentation, infusions, cleanse the palate, and stay refreshed between tastings.
Carbonated beverages
A rotating selection of premium mixers, house syrups, teas, juices, and zero-proof spirits—part of a fully stocked lab with hundreds of ingredients to support endless experimentation.
Snacks
A curated assortment of light snacks selected to complement your creations and keep you energized throughout the experience.
Transportation to Workshop Venue
Step inside a hidden cocktail laboratory in Seattle where creativity, experimentation, and discovery take center stage. Craft cocktails or mocktails as you explore a fully stocked lab designed for all levels—from curious beginners to seasoned drink enthusiasts. Please contact us directly for bookings more than 2 people; we usually have availability, and can open up more space for you. This immersive experience begins with a lively introduction to unconventional, “mad scientist” mixology—featuring original techniques, unexpected ingredients, and inventive ways to approach drink-making that go far beyond traditional methods. Then, the lab becomes yours. Suit up in your lab coat and explore a fully stocked drink lab featuring hundreds of ingredients, spirits, bitters, infusions, and specialty tools—many of which you won’t find in a typical bar or at home. With no recipes to follow, you’ll experiment freely—crafting, tasting, and refining multiple creations as your ideas evolve. This is not a step-by-step class—it’s a creative playground designed for exploration, connection, and discovery. By the end, you won’t just have made drinks—you’ll have created something entirely your own.

Fantabulouse Mixology Lab

If you’re even remotely interested in cocktails, the Mad Scientist Mixology Class is an experience you shouldn’t miss. What I loved most was how hands-on and interactive the class was. They provide recipe reference cards if you want guidance, but they also encourage you to experiment, get creative, and build cocktails your own way in their “lab.” It felt less like a class and more like being a bartender for the day. The selection of ingredients was incredible—from an extensive range of spirit...read more

So Much Fun!

Get ready for a fantastic adventure in new flavors and surprising combinations. Jen is a superior host and lets you explore all the crazy combos you can think of. I am a novice cocktail maker and had success. My husband is a true aficionado and discovered new things! So good for all experience levels.

Inventing new cocktails with reckless abandon!

This was so much fun. Will definitely do again. Perfect for someone who already knows how to make a lot of cocktails and would like free range to experiment with unusual ingredients and techniques.

Brewing Love Potions, and fun with science at Greenfire!

I had an amazing, fun, educational time learning about organic chemistry, combinations, the history of cocktails, and mingling with other couples as we learned how to make non-alcoholic beverages. Excited to return and make more love potions with my other half soon! Will write an updated revoew experience.... stay tuned!

Seattle’s Most Creative Cocktail Experience

This workshop was way more fun than any cocktail class I’ve taken! You throw on a lab coat, step into a playful little “drink lab,” and experiment your way to a delicious cocktail or mocktail. The instructor is super encouraging and makes the whole experience feel creative rather than rigid. Great ambiance, great ingredients, great vibe. Highly recommend for a group activity or a memorable night out in Seattle!
