    Cocktail Classes

    This hands-on experience is all about personalisation and creativity. You’ll work one-on-one with our expert bartender to design two cocktails that suits your unique flavour preferences. Whether you're drawn to sweet, citrusy, herbal, or smoky notes, we’ll help you craft a drink that’s perfectly you.

    Once you’ve chosen your ingredients and perfected your recipe, it’s time to shake (or stir) your creation to life! You’ll then have the chance to select the ideal glassware and garnish, transforming your cocktail into a work of art that not only tastes amazing but looks stunning too.

    We are loving Familiar Spirits! Tastes amazing, ordering and delivery is super simple and quick, packaging is absolutely gorgeous and love that it is produced locally on the GC by a small family business. My team at work all loved receiving a bottle as a Christmas gift so thanks Familiar Spirits for also making staff Christmas presents an absolute breeze.

    Ordered a box of 6 Butler's Gin and love it just over ice, the very light licorice and velvety feel is really mouth pleasing. I already finished a bottle with friends :)

    We are pleased to say that your Limoncello is an incredible product. As we are an Italian family who also have relatives who profess they are the Limoncello experts. Your fantastic product wins hands down. It has a smooth refreshing taste that leaves the pallet totally satisfied and also wanting more. We live in the Hunter Valley and the winerys are at our door step. There are so many boutique brewers here and we have tried them all. But your Limoncello is a winner. We will definitely make your Limoncello a regular monthly purchase.
