Cocktails + Chemistry

Bring your friends along to this tasty night out for budding mixologists and enjoy a night of cocktail making and chemistry, the ultimate night out at Otago Museum!

Learn to make specialty cocktails with our friends from The Alchemist, mix up a mini margarita, shake up a spiced rum and raspberry or stir up a strawberry shrub. Quench your thirst for knowledge with our Science team who will be running demos and experiments linked to the chemistry of your cocktails!

Participants will grow their cocktail know-how as they progress through each special recipe, learning the fundamentals of cocktail making and the chemistry behind making the perfect drink! You’ll even experiment with new flavour combinations and techniques to craft your own personalised cocktail. Throughout the session you’ll be served a selection of delicious tasting plates so you won’t go hungry!

This is an adults only event, ID will be checked on arrival. Groups will be seated separately, please email bookings@otagomuseum.nz if you have booked separately from your party but wish to sit together.

Package includes:
- Fun, hands-on cocktail-making workshop (one specialty shot and three specialised cocktails)
- Four Tasting Plates to share
- Science shows in between cocktails
