Houston’s 5 best cocktail-mixing classes has got me getting tipsy every day!

Pour Me Perfection is one of the cocktail-making classes in the heart of Houston.

We love how they make the clients feel welcome right off the bat, putting them at ease even before they start their classes.

One of the highlights of this service is that it deals with smaller class sizes, allowing them to focus on each student throughout the class.

We appreciate how the instructors give a little introduction about the activity. They also take their time to know their students to make the class even more personalized.

Speaking of personalization, kudos to the team for letting the students craft their cocktails based on their personalities. This allows them to feel more in charge of the cocktails they’re crafting.

On the other hand, for those who want to have a more intimate class setting, private cocktail mixology classes are also being offered by Pour Me Perfection.

Another thing we love about this cocktail-making class is that they can accommodate last-minute class private class bookings.

Even better, they still take their time in getting to know the personalities of participants, allowing them to get a more personalized class even on short notice.

We also love that the company only uses high-quality spirits and liquor, allowing us to feel that we’ve crafted something delicious!

Entertaining classes

“I have had the pleasure of attending at least five Pour Me Perfection Events! I first learned of them through a neighborhood event; have hired them for personal events, and have attended two of their private events. Everything is always fabulous! From the time you arrive, Pour Me Perfection makes you feel like  family! They go above and beyond to not only educate, but to also entertain. I look forward to their events! I know that an evening with Pour Me Perfection is going to be filled with laughter, love and fun! Pour Me Perfection have got to be the best bartenders in Houston hands-down!!!”

Very passionate approach during class

“From beginning to end, my experience with Pour Me Perfection has been outstanding.  Beginning with our initial phone conversation, Rasheed and Carlesha felt like family!  I particularly loved how the owners handled my booking personally.  They gave my husband and I a mixology experience we will never forget by creating a mixology class just for us during our trip to Houston, TX.  Carlesha and Rasheed were willing to think outside the box to accommodate our specific needs. Not only did they teach us how to pour excellent drinks, they taught us what can happen when you pour from your heart!!”

Cocktails Done Right is a mobile bartending service in Houston that offers classes for those who want to learn about crafting their own cocktails.

What’s great about this cocktail-making class is that it specializes in customized drinks, which means clients are given an opportunity to create cocktail recipes that we can’t easily find through search engines.

What we also love about their service is that they offer more during the cocktail-making class by teaching their students how to flip bottles, including other bartending tricks.

This free add-on entices students to do something interesting while crafting their cocktails.

Aside from cocktail-making classes, people can also rely on the team for bartending events. Even better, watching their bartenders almost feel like we’re crafting our own drink, so it’s a win-win!

It’s also quite impressive how the company’s staff respond to their student’s queries. We love how they make sure to explain things well, allowing the students to understand their classes well enough.

However, due to several tools used during cocktail classes, there were a few reports of delays during setup time. This may take the time of the actual class, so it’s best to request for an extension from the service provider.

Accommodates short-notice bookings

“Nathan was able to cater for our company holiday party despite the short notice (less than a week at a peak time (holidays season). Best of all, Carolina, our bar tender, was phenomenal. She was attentive, courteous, friendly, and professional. Cocktails Done Right, will always be our go to and if we are lucky we’ll have Carolina again, though we’re confident the standard is consistent with others as well. Thank you guys!!”

Bartenders on Wheels lives up to its name as the leader in bar management during parties and events, big or small, wherever the client is! 

For those who want to bring their bartending skills to the next level, they offer classes where clients can learn how to curate recipes and come up with more elaborate cocktails.

And yes—they can take it anywhere which means students can have the liberty to choose where they feel most creative!

It’s worth noting, however, that the mobile bar requires a significant amount of time to set up before the class begins. So it’s best to manage expectations since there will be delays.

What’s great about the company is that they’ve got an impressive private liquor collection, allowing students to curate something they’ve never tasted before.

On top of that, they also offer online courses, great for busy individuals. Students will just have to avail of Bartenders on Wheels’ online courses where they can watch the mixologist and follow along at their own pace.

Meanwhile, we also like that these guys can customize class themes. Here, students can learn specific drinks related to certain holidays like Christmas and Halloween, or seasons like summer and fall.

Great cocktail selection

“I mean I really don’t know where to start. I mean from the initial phone call to inquire about them all the way till the end of the night. I mean they new their menu, their professionalism was as if we were presidential candidates. No one had any complaints just when can they host their next event. Bartender’s On Wheels should take the city by storm….. If they haven’t already! Great night we had and I will be using them for my future endeavours! Kuddos!”

Cocktails by SLH provides cocktail-making classes for both small and large groups in Houston. They can work with a diverse group with different personalities, making them a perfect option for team-building or corporate events. 

The company also offers cocktail-mixing classes for bachelorette parties, engagement parties, housewarming, or even brokerage events.

What sets them apart is their hands-on approach during their class. We appreciate that even with the large cocktail-making classes, they can still focus on each student without sacrificing the quality of teaching.

What we like about their classes is that they’re both informative and engaging. They make sure each student participates by incorporating their interests and passions in class.

On top of that, their classes run for up to two hours, which we think is enough time to students to learn something new.

Another thing we like about this cocktail-making class is that all tools and ingredients are available onsite. This means there’s no extra stuff to bring, preventing students from having incomplete materials during class.

We also love that students can choose their preferred spirits and theme, making them fully in control of the cocktail menu that they’re about to learn. Clients can even come up with a signature drink name, which is a plus in our books!

Easy to follow shopping list 

“We booked Shana to bartend at my dad’s retirement party and we are so glad we did. She made a custom menu to match the theme and it was a great touch. She made a shopping list that was easy to follow. She is such a joy to be around and our guests really loved her! Thanks Shana!

The class is clean and sanitary

“I recently attended Cocktails by SLH’s Bourbon, Bacon & Brunch cocktail making event and had an amazing time! Shana was our host and she was fun, informative, engaging and professional. She provided all the tools and ingredients needed for each of the 3 opportunities where we got to act as our own mixologist. Everything was clean and sanitary. If you’re looking for something fun and different to do for your special celebration, work mixer or client event,this is it!”

Avonak Distillery is the first organic distillery in Texas, providing its own mix of spirits, gins, vodkas, and whiskeys. They welcome the same people with an interest on liquors, and encourage them to curate their own mix, hence opening a cocktail-mixing class.

What’s great about them is that students can see the distilling process onsite, which adds more interest to clients. Seeing how the spirits are made will spark interest, and questions, making the class more engaging.

In fact, cocktail-making classes here come with a free tour around the distillery grounds, enhancing the overall experience.

On top of that, we love that the company only uses premium spirits and ingredients. We appreciate that participants can curate something flavorful from their cocktail-mixing class.

Of course, the class is led by their in-house distillery experts, which we love. This allows them to provide more in-depth knowledge about the spirits, the origin of the ingredients used, and the art of mixing drinks.

Another thing we love about this service provider is that they keep their classes small, allowing participants to directly interact with the mixologists and distillery experts. This also gives the students ample time to master the techniques.

However, those who would like to explore other brands of spirits may have to consider another vendor as the recipes and discussions are centered to the spirits produced at te distillery.

Uses quality liquor

“Great staff, very knowledgeable and personable. Bourbons are robust and full of flavors. Gins are intriguing!”
