What to expect

Step into the Greenfire Loft inside Seattle’s Melrose Market on Capitol Hill and into a fully stocked cocktail and mocktail laboratory. This loft cocktail making class in Seattle starts with a welcome, a lab coat, and a quick tour of the tools and ingredients you’ll use in this hands-on cocktail class. You’ll begin with a few printed cocktail and mocktail recipes, then branch out to invent your own creations. In this mixology workshop, you’ll have spirits, mixers, herbs, spices, teas, and zero‑proof options to craft both classic cocktails and creative non-alcoholic drinks while your host, the “head scientist,” offers flavor ideas and technique tips. This is not a traditional step‑by‑step cocktail class; it’s a freestyle cocktail and mocktail class where you design your own drinks. Guests over 21 can choose to add alcohol or keep things alcohol‑free. Between experiments, relax in the vintage chairs, enjoy your latest creation, and soak up the vibe—perfect for date night in Seattle, a birthday celebration, bachelorette outing, or team building activity.
