Mad Scientist Cocktail og Mocktail Lab

Get ready for a fantastic adventure in new flavors and surprising combinations. Jen is a superior host and lets you explore all the crazy combos you can think of. I am a novice cocktail maker and had success. My husband is a true aficionado and discovered new things! So good for all experience levels.

This was so much fun. Will definitely do again. Perfect for someone who already knows how to make a lot of cocktails and would like free range to experiment with unusual ingredients and techniques.

I had an amazing, fun, educational time learning about organic chemistry, combinations, the history of cocktails, and mingling with other couples as we learned how to make non-alcoholic beverages. Excited to return and make more love potions with my other half soon! Will write an updated revoew experience.... stay tuned!

This workshop was way more fun than any cocktail class I’ve taken! You throw on a lab coat, step into a playful little “drink lab,” and experiment your way to a delicious cocktail or mocktail. The instructor is super encouraging and makes the whole experience feel creative rather than rigid. Great ambiance, great ingredients, great vibe. Highly recommend for a group activity or a memorable night out in Seattle!

Had a great time. You get a lab coat and access this woody loft space to mix drinks however you want. I’m sober, but the experience was pretty flippin rad nonetheless. t’s hands-on and creative, not a strict class where you just watch someone else. Lot of options when it came to drinks, essences, bitters, et cetera. The instructor was helpful without hovering, and a couple of my drinks were mindblowingly good. May have to round up the Sobears and come back here. Raar.

I had an absolute blast at this “mad scientist” cocktail workshop! The moment I walked into the Greenfire Loft, I was handed a lab coat and instantly felt like I’d stepped into a playful little laboratory for adults. The space is gorgeous—tucked above Melrose Market with great people-watching and a cozy lounge vibe. The instructor set the tone perfectly: supportive, fun, and ready to nudge you just far enough out of your comfort zone. There are printed recipes you can follow… but honestly, the real magic is experimenting. I loved mixing ingredients, tasting as I went, and getting tips whenever I was stuck or wanted to be bolder. It’s creative chaos in the best way, and the tools and ingredients felt really thoughtfully curated. My finished drink turned out delicious, and lounging in a vintage butterfly chair while sipping it was the perfect finish. Whether you’re planning a team activity, a birthday, or just want something unique to do in Seattle, this workshop is such a standout. I left feeling like both a chemist and a bartender.

A fantastic group activity! Whether you enjoy alcoholic cocktails or creative mocktails, this lab offers a perfect mix of freedom and guidance. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the opportunity to try smoking your drinks with different wood chips added a unique twist. Highly recommended for a fun evening out with friends or family.

We had a great time creating and sharing our mocktails. I loved having some recommendations to choose from along with being able to mix and match from a huge selection of ingredients including teas, dehyrdrated fruits, and edible glitter in the ambiance of a comfortable, warm, unique environment of Melrose Market. The host had a lot of knowledge, recommendations, and made sure everyone felt comfortable trying new things in the cool loft surroundings. This mocktail workshop was a great environment to spend quality time with friends. Love the commitment to the community space. Can't wait to come back with my colleagues!

Perfect for anyone who wants to try something different in Seattle. The vibe is friendly and welcoming, and the emphasis on experimentation lets you discover new flavors and combinations. It’s more of a playground than a class, which means you can take your time and enjoy the process at your own pace.

This lab is an absolute blast for anyone curious about mixology. The variety of ingredients, like fresh herbs, exotic powders, and even edible flowers, make me want to experiment with everything. The setting feels like a quirky scientist’s playground, and the host is knowledgeable about all the ingredients and techniques. The host’s own quirkiness makes the experience fun and inclusive for all attending, even if you’re traveling solo or don’t have any experience with mixology. I can’t wait to return with a group of friends. We love to find unique activities in Seattle, and this definitely qualifies.
