lab·o·ra·to·ry | ˈla-b(ə-)rə-ˌtȯr-ē – a place for experimentation, observation, and practice.

Instead of a scripted cocktail making class, this is an ever‑changing, high‑concept cocktail and mocktail laboratory and a unique mixology experience in Seattle for all experience levels, from 0 to 100. You’re encouraged to experiment with hundreds of ingredients—bitters, syrups, teas, spices, zero‑proof spirits, and more—plus tools like a smoking gun, test tubes, and shaker sets, so you can try bold ideas you’d never risk at home.

Your host acts as a friendly “head scientist,” helping fine‑tune each guest’s mixology goals while keeping the atmosphere playful and judgment‑free—awkwardness gets checked at the door so the creative madness can begin.

Also available as a mobile lab at your home, office, or event venue—ask about on‑site options.

Meeting and pickup

Meeting point

As you enter the building from Melrose Ave, Greenfire Loft stairway is off to your right, just across the hallway from Rain Shadow Meats butcher shop. You will see a sign at the base of the stairs. I'll greet you at the top of the stairs and guide you to the lab coats of all different sizes.

End point
This activity ends back at the meeting point.

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.
