A dry hire service means the client provides all the alcohol and the service provides the staff, equipment (like shakers, ice scoops, etc.), mixers, garnishes, experience, and sometimes even a bar setup, but not the alcohol itself. Essentially, the client "hires" the bartenders and their service but provides the alcohol. 

A dry-hire bartending service offers several advantages, primarily focusing on flexibility and cost-effectiveness. By allowing the client to provide the alcohol, you gain greater control over the drink selection and budget, potentially leading to cost savings by sourcing beverages at wholesale or discounted rates. Additionally, dry hire provides more customization options for the drink menu and overall bar experience. Since the client is providing the alcohol, the leftover alcohol/drinks are also theirs to keep following the conclusion of the event. With a dry-hire service, the focus is not on inventory and operations, but rather the service and experience itself.

Yes! We pride ourselves on being as inclusive to event-goers as possible. Anything we can do with alcohol, we can also do without alcohol. Our skills and experience are just as valuable in the mocktail space.

Tastings are guided experiences focused on exploring the flavor profiles of a specific spirit or cocktail category. The goal is to help guests refine their palate and identify preferences—such as distinguishing between sweet, nutty, woody, or fruity notes in a bourbon tasting, or comparing martini variations to discover a preference for gin vs. vodka, shaken vs. stirred, wet vs. dry. Tastings center on the sensory experience and flavor exploration.

Trainings build upon tastings by incorporating deeper educational elements. In addition to guided flavor exploration, these sessions dive into the history, production methods, and regional variations of specific spirits. For instance, a rum training may explore the distinctions between Agricole, Navy, light and dark rums, or Cachaça. An absinthe training may compare old-world and new-world expressions across different countries. Trainings are designed to broaden understanding beyond taste alone.

Classes are interactive, hands-on experiences that focus on the craft of bartending. These sessions are structured for fun and engagement, teaching the techniques behind cocktail creation. Guests learn how to use bartending tools, master pouring, shaking, and stirring, balance flavors, and enhance presentation with garnishes. For example, a margarita class guides participants in crafting the perfect margarita from start to finish. Classes emphasize mechanics, creativity, and personal expression behind the bar.
