Real Ingredients. Balanced Cocktails. Meaningful Connections.
DrinkMaster’s in-person corporate team building events in Boston bring colleagues together through the culinary art of cocktail making. Working in pairs, guests build, share, and taste craft cocktails with professional instruction focused on balance, aromatics, real ingredients, and technique.
Through The DrinkMaster Method, your team discovers how fresh citrus, herbs, botanicals, spices, and house-made syrups come together, and how shaking, temperature, and texture shape a beautifully balanced cocktail. Each guided tasting is part of the learning experience, encouraging guests to notice aromas, compare ingredients, and understand why a recipe works.
Curated music, warm lighting, and a welcome cocktail set the tone in our private Boston speakeasy. Cocktail stories and interactive trivia keep the experience social, welcoming, and fun. The focus is on learning, creativity, and connection. Mocktail options are available for individual guests or entire teams.
With over 30 years of cocktail education in Boston, DrinkMaster is trusted by teams from Vertex, Google, Cengage, and GE and companies across New England.

Corporate Team Building Testimonials

We are always looking for a non-traditional corporate team building event and we hit the jackpot with DrinkMaster. The entire team loved the event and everyone walked away feeling like a real mixologist.
Jason and the DrinkMaster team were fantastic and made everyone feel comfortable and confident. And we are still talking about some of the history of cocktail stories.
We all learned how to “look like a pro” behind the bar, and how to support team members outside of the office. Highly recommended and Cayan will be back!

Jason and team were amazing! Jason, Julia and Eric, put together an amazing event for my team at Meta. We had a group of close to 20 attend and they all loved it!
The pricing was spot on, the kits delivered with ease, and the cocktail making experience was incredible. Highly recommend and will call again for future events!
Thank you all!

Thank you for a fantastic event last week. The whole team had such a blast and we all learned so much!
I already had a few colleagues get in touch with me regarding this and I can’t say enough good things about you all to them. Your quick responses to emails, professionalism, and ease of organizing initially won me over.
Jason and Mike, your back and forth commentary kept the energy in the room exciting and playful, inclusive, all while learning new things.

As your team builds, shakes and tastes, our instructors explore balance, dilution, temperature, texture and aromatics while connecting each cocktail to its ingredients, spirits, history and culture. It’s collaborative, approachable and designed to turn cocktail making into a shared learning experience.
