Mad Scientist Cocktail and Mocktail Lab
Overview
lab·o·ra·to·ry | \ ˈla-b(ə-)rə-ˌtȯr-ē A place providing opportunity for experimentation, observation, or practice in a field of study.
This is an ever-changing and high concept cocktail workshop (aka. laboratory) for those with 0 to 100 levels of experience. Unconventional, not a class; learn through experimentation! You get to take risks in this lab that you wouldn't normally take at home with hundreds of ingredients at your fingertips. Tools include smoking gun, test tubes, shaker sets, etc.
It is my goal as your host to work with each of you and fine-tune each event to fit your individual mixology goals. By design, any awkwardness and negative judgement is kicked out the door in order for the madness to ensue!
**I do gift certificates! ALSO, i can accommodate guests under 21, please send a direct message to line any of this up. :) I can also do off-sites for 20+ guests in the greater Seattle area and beyond. Feel free to message us with your inquiry.

What to expect
Itinerary
Gift certificates available.
Look forward to a most unique, fun, engaging and enriching time up in the Greenfire Loft (@greenfireloft) inside Melrose Market. This Cocktail and/or Mocktail Lab experience happens on a limited basis. If you have a specific date in mind please reach out to me and I'll see if I can make it happen.
This experience has no dress code. As soon as you enter, you'll be handed a lab coat -- perfect as a pre-funk to your night out on the town. Also, feel free to just lounge around [with your drink in hand] in one of the wing-backed faux-leather chairs and enjoy the ambiance of being perched in a high-end market, above many award-winning businesses.
I will begin the lab by introducing you to all the tools and ingredients available. Multiple printed cocktail and mocktail recipes will offer a starting point, and as you take off on your own concocting direction, I will be present to offer guidance and answer questions. This is not necessarily a cocktail class or mocktail class; more of a laboratory where you get to experiment. Hands-on style of cocktail workshop! Up to each guest over 21 if they want to add alcohol to their drinks or keep it non-alcoholic.

Had a great time doing the workshop, it was really fun to mix and match different ingredients to find your perfect drinks! Would highly recommend as an activity to do as a couple or with some friends. Jen really knew what they were doing and very friendly, recommended some good tips. Would definitely come back if we ever visit Seattle again.128himanshuk

Ever dreamt of unleashing your inner mad scientist while sipping on a cocktail you can't even pronounce? Look no further. I've descended into Jen's Cocktail Lab twice, once as 'Doctor Frog' (not a licensed medical professional, mind you) and a second time as 'Doctor Death' (don't worry, no frogs were harmed). This isn't your grandma's cocktail class; it's a mixology playground on steroids. Seriously, they've got more gadgets and gizmos than a spy movie! Smoking gun? Check. Test tubes? You betcha. But the real MVP? Jen. She found out I love juicing veggies and—BOOM!—next thing you know, I'm mixing kale juice with bourbon. I didn't know whether to expect a workout or a hangover, but hey, that's the fun of experimentation! And here's the kicker: you don't even need a plan. My first concoction started as some random recipe I found online, featuring bourbon and maple wood chips (don't ask, just try). But as any good mad scientist knows, plans are meant to be broken. That drink went through bunch of vegetable juices and more phases than a teenager in a punk rock band. By the end, it was an entirely different beast, and I couldn't even tell you what to call it. That's the beauty of this lab—you're not just making a drink, you're embarking on a flavor journey with no roadmap. Bottom line: if you've ever wanted to combine chemistry class with happy hour, this is your jam. Awkwardness? Kicked to the curb. Creativity? Through the roof. Chances of feeling like a mixology rockstar? 100%.259svetlanap

This was an amazing experience. We had the freedom to do whatever our imagination could think of. They all the needed supplies, ingredients and techniques available to try different ideas. Plus we got to try some drinks from the other class members. If you like to be experimental with cocktails, give this a shot.aixajs

Fun activity to do with friends and get out of the monotony. Make sure to get early to find parking or just Uber there if possible

I have signed up for this experience several times now. I can invite new friends who have never attended, and I can take my own bartending skills to the next level at the same time. The host will specially curate the lab for repeat visitors, even if it is in a mix with new guests! Just let her know what you want to focus on and she'll do the research and get the necessary tools/additional supplies to make it happen. It is so much fun to have essentially a whole bar at my disposal to experiment with. Hundreds of ingredients, dozens of techniques. Location is picture perfect along Pike street by Capitol Hill area; just don't drive! Take lightrail - that's my suggestion. Do anything but drive because parking is a nightmare, as it is a busy area -- Starbucks Reserve Roastery and Convention Center are all within 1 block -- I know uber is expensive, but why not park in one of the free lightrail lots (like by northgate, for instance) and just cruise on in? So much less stress than dealing with parking. I highly recommend this experience, and the host is most willing to fine-tune the experience for you -- the best restaurants are on the same block!! -- for instance, if you want fresh oysters personally delivered from Taylor Shellfish, the host will help you make that happen without the need to wait in line. Can just have it delivered to the lab for you! Of course that doesn't just automatically happen, but message the host and she'll set it all up.
