What is a private corporate cocktail class?

A private class is booked for just your company. We can do this for groups of 6 upwards and host them in our Tasting Rooms at Club Soda in Drury Lane (max capacity 20).

Outside of Club Soda, there will be additional charges based on travel and glassware, and we will need to give you a quote.

Who will host my class?

Our team are global experts on alcohol-free drinks and mindful drinking. We have judged Great Taste, IWSC Alcohol-Free Medals, and the World Alcohol-Free Awards. Our alcohol-free cocktails are some of the best in the world. You are in good hands for your session.

The Club Soda team will then guide you through 2 different cocktails, and you will learn tricks of the trade and hacks to make your alcohol-free cocktail sing. Everyone can take away perfect skills from a party, celebration or event. We will also teach you how to make a perfect serve with an alcohol-free spirit, so you can make sure you can make a great drink at home every time. Finally, we will guide you as you compete to make the best cocktail.

How many cocktails do we make?

You receive a welcome drink and make two cocktails.

Will I have to share equipment?

Depending on numbers, people may need to share jiggers and shakers. But this all adds to the fun!

Can those under 18’s take part?

Yes, if you have team members under 18 this event is perfect.

Is it okay for staff members who do not drink for religious or health reasons and those that are pregnant?

Yes, it is, but we will ask you about any specific requirements and allergies in our planning. All the drinks we bring will be vegan.

Some of our team have mobility issues; how is access to the Tasting Rooms?

The downstairs speakeasy area is not accessible to those with mobility issues. So we recommend you look at our accessibility guide. When we have groups over 15 we use both floors, so please let us know if any staff are unable to access the speakeasy, and we will modify the class.

If you have team members with hearing issues or are deaf, or have other needs, we will be happy to chat about how we can accommodate them. Please email jacob@joinclubsoda.co.uk.

Can I bring my dog?

No, unfortunately, not for hygiene reasons (although they are welcome when browsing the shop). Assistance dogs are welcome.

What do you need to know for a class at my home/workplace?

There are a series of questions we will ask you:

• What space will you be able to use, and how many people can you accommodate in that space? We need a room with tables that can be utilised for the class. An average desk can host around three people.
• Do you have glassware (tumblers and wine glasses)? And how many of each?
• Do we have access to a sink and kitchen area to prepare?

For sites outside of London, we need to send the product to you in advance, and one of your team will take responsibility for chilling the product.

We need to get ice sent on the day and require you to be able to keep that cold for a few hours ahead of the workshop.

Can I hold the class at any time?

We can do a class at any time of day, week or year. We just need enough time to set up and break them down afterwards. This is usually around an hour on either side of the class, depending on the size. If you are in an office block, we will need to know where we can drop off everything we need and, if possible, borrow a porters trolley to get the equipment to you.

Is food included?

We can add food to most events at most venues upon request. We can order pizzas from our neighbours at Caravan. Just let us know.

When will the food be served?

We usually serve pizzas, bar snacks and other food at the beginning of your class with your welcome drink, but you can discuss this with your event organiser.

Do you serve vegetarian/vegan/gluten-free food?

Yes, we can offer gluten-free, vegetarian or vegan options; please ask your event organiser for details about our full range.

Is there a dress code?

There’s no dress code per se. Wear whatever you feel comfortable in; you will be on your feet for around two hours. You can even come in fancy dress if it is not offensive. We are a space dedicated to equality for everyone.

REFUNDS & CHANGES OF PLAN

What happens if there’s a change in my event plans?

We ask that you pay in advance of the event, either the full amount or a booking fee. If there are changes to your event plans, for example to the number of attendees, we can change this up to 7 days before the event, including adding additional people. We cannot offer a refund if there are any changes less than seven days before your event. Let us know if you need extra space, and we will see what we can do.

How are bookings confirmed?

Your booking is confirmed on payment of the invoice. All payments shall be made by the invoice due date.

I need to cancel my event. Can I have a refund?

If you need to cancel a booked event, we reserve the right to retain a cancellation fee of 50% of the total fee, provided the cancellation is made more than 14 days before the scheduled event date.
