We had a fantastic time learning about the ingredients and combinations, alcoholic and non-alcoholic, that result into myriad of flavors, both complex and clean. It was great getting to create cloudy smoky beverages with a blowtorch, creating theatrical cocktails, and learning the nuances of bitters, of freeze-dried v roasted non-perishable ingredients. We also had a lot of fun watching the theatrical components of the Greenfire space, which is a bit like a cirque performance. Last but not lea...read more

From the moment I stepped into the space at Melrose Market and headed upstairs, I was immediately immersed in the experience. You’re greeted, handed a lab coat, and invited to choose your own scientist name, which sets the tone right away. I went with Dr. Love (because Love is my middle name , and from there, it was pure fun. This isn’t just a tasting it’s a hands-on, science-based mixology experience. You get to experiment with fresh ingredients, explore flavor combinations, and create cocktai...read more




I went solo and was a little nervous walking in, but the second I put on the lab coat it felt like I’d stepped into my own tiny science movie. The host was warm and attentive without hovering, and made it super easy to mingle if you wanted or quietly tinker at your station if you didn’t. By the end I’d met a few new people and had a stack full of mocktail ideas I can recreate at home.
Had a fun, rewarding time learning about molecular science, organic chemistry, craft cocktails, and flavor combos. It was truly fun, and wonderful to try dufferent flavor combos, be encoyraged to recreate distilled spirits, try all the bitters. I learned plum bitters smell and taste just like bubble gum! The theatrical stagecraft as well was super fun. It's great for families, couples, work parties, events, retreats with morale building, and more! Excited to go back!
As a non‑drinker, I usually skip anything ‘mixology,’ but this workshop was made for someone like me. I booked by myself and never once felt out of place. The instructor checked in about my preferences and gently nudged me to try flavors I wouldn’t pick on my own. I left with three legit bar‑worthy mocktails, a better sense of how to balance sweet/sour/bitter, and a big grin on my face.
