ABOUT US:
Since being set up in 2009, Mixology Events (mixologyevents.co.uk) has been dedicated to all things related to high-quality alcoholic beverages. We offer an extensive range of experiences - from tastings and bar hires, to award-winning 100% interactive cocktail classes (mixologyevents.co.uk/classes/cocktail-making-classes-london/) which we’ve taken with us on the road to a huge range of venues across the UK and beyond.
Our flagship venue, TT Liquor (ttliquor.co.uk) - where this video was filmed - is located in the heart of Hoxton. Set over 4 floors, it encompasses a subterranean bar, vintage cinema space, tasting vaults that were converted from ex-Victorian police cells, a brand-new garden roof terrace, and a series of adaptable event spaces. We even converted our home into a safely socially distanced box-packing factory for all our virtual classes during the lockdown era.
