Make the drinks at your next get-together, and make them well. Six chapters take you from nervous first shakes to pouring for a crowd, planning a night for two, or inventing a house signature your friends ask for again.
Every chapter builds on the last, starting with why cocktails work at all and ending with you designing your own.
What actually makes a cocktail good: the six pillars behind every great drink.
Shaking, stirring, measuring, and the muscle memory that makes drinks consistent.
Sweetness, sourness, bitterness, strength and volume: five dials you learn to turn, so you can adjust any drink by taste.
The Daiquiri, the Old Fashioned, the Negroni: the families that unlock hundreds more.
What to actually buy, in what order, without overspending on gear you won't use.
Design your own drinks and run a night that actually goes the way you planned it.
A free cocktail library you can use tonight, and a shop for the gear to do it properly.
The exact bar tools and glassware used throughout the course, picked by a working bartender. Buy once, buy right, skip the gimmicks.
Tell me when it opens"A recipe is just someone else's notes. Once you understand why they wrote them, you can start writing your own."
“I’d need a whole shelf of bottles”
You learn which few bottles cover the most drinks and what to add next, so your bar only grows when you want it to. And you can check what you can already make with what’s in your cupboard.
“The gear costs a fortune”
We sort the handful of tools you’ll reach for every time from the gadgets you won’t, so you only spend on what gets used and nothing ends up forgotten in a drawer.
“Mine never taste like the bar’s”
It’s rarely the recipe. It’s balance, ice and dilution. You get your technique right first, then learn to taste a drink and fix it yourself.
“I don’t know where to start”
You start with why cocktails work at all, then learn a handful of classic families. Know those, and hundreds of drinks open up.
“I’d panic with guests watching”
You plan the night before it starts, choose drinks that suit it, and keep things running the way you planned, so you’re with your guests, not stuck behind the bar.
“I don’t have time for a course”
Every lesson is short and on one topic. Read one with your morning coffee and try it that evening.

None at all. The course starts with why cocktails work, and every note builds on the one before it, so you’re never asked to do something you haven’t been shown.
Nothing for the first notes. You’ll learn which few tools and bottles cover the most drinks, and what to add next, so you only buy what you’ll actually use. The free cocktail library already shows what you can make with what’s in your cupboard.
Both. Each note is short and written to be read, with hand-drawn diagrams, plus video wherever you need to see a technique done. A good shake is easier to watch than to describe.
Thirty short notes, each on one topic. A note is short enough to read over a coffee and try that evening. Go at your own pace; nothing expires.
