Join us for a Spirited Evening, where we’ll come together to explore the world of cocktails — tasting, making, and sharing the stories behind each one.

This is a cocktail making evening with a difference. Each event in the series will feature three different cocktails. You’ll get behind Difford's bar, learn from Simon Difford how to mix each cocktail, discover the tales behind them, and of course, enjoy drinking them too.

We’ll also have nibbles to snack on, and plenty of time to chat with other discerning drinkers in a relaxed, welcoming setting.

You'll be making two of your own cocktails, with our guidance, so don't worry there's no experience needed —  whether you're a cocktail novice or want to brush up on your skills and knowledge, this is your invitation to stir things up! You'll be able to choose your third cocktail from the Difford's House Cocktail menu. 

Difford's Guide is the world's leading cocktail website, founded by Simon Difford, with over 20,000 recipes.
