7 Best Cocktail & Mixology Classes in Singapore (2026)

Learning to make a proper cocktail in Singapore usually means choosing between three routes: a scheduled public workshop, a private or corporate session a company brings to your own venue, or a masterclass run inside a working bar. This guide covers seven real, currently operating providers spanning all three, each checked against its own website or active social account. It leaves out venues that only pour drinks to order (see our cocktail bars guide) and mobile bartenders hired purely to staff an event rather than teach. Formats are noted throughout so you can match the class to the occasion, whether that's a hen's night, an office offsite or an actual qualification.

The Shake Affinity runs its bartending and mixology workshops as a mobile service, setting up in offices, homes, restaurants, hotels or partner cafes rather than one fixed classroom. Its site describes a staged programme, from a Basic Bartending 101 introduction through intermediate cocktail-making to advanced mixologist sessions, taught using training materials it says are developed in-house. Participants shake, stir and build drinks under a bartender's guidance and then drink what they make, with the company supplying spirits, garnishes and glassware. It positions the workshop mainly as a corporate team-building activity, alongside private bookings for house parties, and separately lists a mocktail version for non-drinkers. Harper's Bazaar Singapore has featured the company for simplifying event planning. Expect a private or corporate booking rather than a walk-in class.

Hopscotch is a working cocktail bar with three Singapore outlets, and its in-house team, Mixes From Mars, runs the cocktail workshops rather than an outside instructor. Its site describes sessions that open with bar tools and spirits, move through setting up a home bar, and finish with guests behind the counter shaking that day's cocktails themselves, mixologists on hand throughout. Past workshops have included a bespoke menu built for a Microsoft Lumia smartphone launch and ticketed public sessions run jointly with City Nomads and the whisky brand Monkey Shoulder. Because it operates from an actual bar rather than a rented studio, the workshop doubles as a preview of the venue's regular craft-cocktail programme. Group size and theme are customised on request, spanning corporate, private and public formats.

SipBar Concierge runs two-hour, hands-on cocktail-making workshops as a mobile service, travelling to homes, offices, restaurants or outdoor venues rather than hosting at one address. Its site describes sessions pitched at beginners and taught with minimal jargon, organised around rotating themes such as basic bartending, movie-inspired drinks and seasonal specials, alongside custom corporate briefs. Groups can range from around six people to about a hundred, and a mocktail-only format is offered for guests who don't drink or workplaces that keep alcohol out of the office. On its own site, SipBar Concierge lists corporate clients including the Monetary Authority of Singapore, Accenture, Amex and P&G for past team-building sessions. It reads as a corporate-and-private specialist, with public bookings available on request rather than a fixed class calendar.

Lunì describes itself as Southeast Asia's first scented cocktail bar, and its workshop leads with that idea rather than standard bartending drills. Its site explains that roughly 80 percent of what people perceive as taste comes from smell, and the Cocktail and Scent workshop teaches basic aromatherapy and essential-oil safety before pairing scent with spirits and building a signature drink, with an advanced tier adding custom scent blending. Sessions run at its own space on Lavender Street, which the company says operates as a scent retail and workshop room by day before turning into a cocktail bar and kitchen at night. Both introductory and more intensive formats are offered, plus a corporate version for team events. It suits someone after a genuinely different angle on a cocktail class, rather than a standard shake-and-stir lesson.

Lifeskills Academy runs Basics of Bartending as a single public day-class rather than a private or corporate booking, with sessions scheduled from 10.30am to 5pm at its Culinary Kitchen space on the fourth floor of Hillview Community Centre, near Hillview MRT. Its site says the course covers up to ten popular cocktails, including the Singapore Sling, alongside general bartending knowledge, keeping each run to a small group for individual attention. The course is listed as eligible for SkillsFuture Credit funding, pointing this one toward Singaporeans and permanent residents wanting a structured, one-off introduction rather than an ongoing hobby class. Upcoming dates are published on its site well into the second half of 2026. It's a straightforward option for a practical taste of bartending basics without booking a private event.

The Spiffy Dapper, an Art Deco-styled cocktail bar on Amoy Street, runs two standing public masterclasses out of its own bar rather than a separate studio. Its site describes a Gin & Tonic Pairing class built around three gins and four tonics with a nod to the drink's colonial Malaya history, and a Craft Cocktail class that uses the Daiquiri and Old Fashioned as templates for shaken and stirred technique, sending participants home with a written reference card. Both run for an hour on set weekly evenings, the G&T session on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays and the cocktail session on Mondays, Wednesdays and Sundays. For groups, the bar also takes private bookings for hen's nights, stag parties, team off-sites or a deeper dive into one spirit category. It's a genuine bar-hosted class, not a rented event space.

The Beverage Clique Academy is a beverage-training consultancy whose WSQ Prepare and Serve Cocktails course is the closest thing here to a formal qualification. Its site describes a two-day, government-accredited programme run from its own space on Carpenter Street, covering an introduction to spirits and cocktails, bar mise-en-place, and mixing and serving standard drinks such as the Vodkatini, Old Fashioned, Mojito and Margarita. Assessment includes a written test and a short practical, leading to a digital Statement of Attainment on top of a certificate of attendance. The course sits alongside the academy's wider WSET wine, spirits and sake programmes, and is listed as eligible for SkillsFuture Credit and other funding support. This suits someone after a recognised bartending credential rather than a one-off social workshop; the site publishes specific running dates.
