Step into a real Mexican home in Playa del Carmen and roll up your sleeves for this hands-on experience, where you'll learn to make traditional drinks and appetizers. During these three fun-filled hours, you’ll mix four iconic cocktails — from a tangy Paloma to a refreshing Margarita — each paired with a local appetizer made on the spot, like ceviche, guacamole, or crispy empanadas. Guided by a lively host in a cozy Playa del Carmen home, you’ll discover how Mexicans turn simple ingredients into moments of celebration. Between sips and laughs, you’ll get insider tips, cultural tales, and maybe even a new favorite drink. By the end, you won’t just learn recipes to recreate back home for family and friends — you’ll take home memories, flavors, and the kind of warmth that makes every toast unforgettable. Most travelers say this was the highlight of their trip to Playa del Carmen. And if you don’t feel the same, we’ll give you your money back. That’s our guarantee.

This isn’t a bar or a studio, it’s a warm Mexican home where every guest becomes part of the kitchen. You’ll mix four iconic cocktails and taste authentic appetizers made right in front of you, guided by a lively local host who knows that food and drinks are really about connection. Each recipe comes with a story — of traditions, celebrations, and the little rituals that make Mexican gatherings so full of life. Between toasts, you’ll share laughs, learn local secrets, and discover why every flavor here tells a story. It’s not just a class, it’s a celebration you’ll remember every time you raise a glass back home.

Awesome night with awesome drinks/food

I went with my partner and friends, we had such a great time. We played little games that taught us about Mexico and we learned a lot of surprising facts. The appetizers and different foods that Lily brought out were delicious. We all had a great time preparing our own drinks and it was super fun. Lily was awesome, so welcoming and friendly, I would definitely recommend this to anyone that wants a more authentic experience. Thank you Lily!!

Had a great time with Lily!

Lily was a great time and loves to entertain, appetizers were great and the drinks were better! For the price of the experience we couldn’t have found something better to do. Learned A LOT about Mexico through her games she had set up without being just bored by information. Classes were also super small (just my girlfriend and I) making it more of a personal experience. I would absolutely recommend a class with Lily!!
