Time Out Sydney's Mixology Masterclass

They say you should never mix your drinks. But you can if you know what you're doing. The Time Out Mixology Masterclass - part of the World Cocktail Week shenanigans at Merivale - will teach how to flare with flair. You will learn how to create your own cocktails - ones that will actually taste good rather than make you hurl into a nearby handbag.

As we all know, Friday afternoons are not for working. Oh no: they are for getting the weekend started, preferably with the loosening aid of booze. So why not knock off a bit early on Friday 14 May to hang with your pals from Time Out? We’ll write you a sick note.

During the Time Out Mixology Masterclass, you will learn how to make some classic cocktails. Plus you will also get the chance to create your own signature cocktail - with prizes for the best. Plus, you can drink the fruits of your labour. So the price of the class is pretty much just to cover the booze you’ll be quaffing, plus a few canapés to keep you upright. Hey, we’re all about the responsible service of alcohol. Plus, we’re throwing in a free three-month subscription to Time Out with every ticket.

Merivale's head mixologist Mikey Enright and award-winning bartender Pierre Fajloun will show you what fruits and herbs go with what spirits - and what should never go together. Except for at the bottom of the girl-next-to-you’s Mimco.

Tickets for Time Out events tend to get snapped up pretty darn quickly (the Time Out Taste Test sold out within 25 minutes of being put in our newsletter, for example) so you’ll want to dial up 02 9240 3000 asafp.
