The interior and overall aesthetic is pretty incredible — it almost takes you back in time. Jason was outstanding as our instructor and MC. His trivia between cocktails was fun and genuinely informative. A fantastic experience all around.

My favorite Boston experience thus far! I attended their new History of Brunch Craft Cocktails class and was so impressed by the history shared and cocktails we made. One of my favorites were the brioche French toast sticks paired with the yuzu thyme aperitif sour. I left with new recipes, new friends, and a need to come back soon. Definitely book this!

If you want a lively and fun evening out, I highly recommend attending a mixology class at DrinkMaster. You’ll explore all aspects of making a cocktail — spirits, sweeteners, juices, and bitters. Well organized, highly energized, fun, and very entertaining.

I attended DrinkMaster’s newest craft cocktail class centered around brunch culture. We made 4 different brunch cocktails all paired with brunch food items. I highly recommend this class to drink making newbies or seasoned bartending professionals. It’s fun, interactive, and actually a good activity worth every penny. I look forward to going back soon.
