Mad Scientist Cocktail and Mocktail Lab

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.

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for this lab experience, and can you accommodate guests under 21?

A: Yes, the Mad Scientist Cocktail and Mocktail Lab is 21+ for those consuming alcohol. However, they can accommodate guests under 21 by offering non-alcoholic mocktail options. Just message them ahead of time with your group's details so they can plan appropriately!

Q: What should I wear to this cocktail lab? Is it messy?

A: I'd recommend wearing something comfortable and maybe even a little old, just in case! It can get a bit messy with all the mixing and experimenting, especially if you're using the smoking gun. An apron is a good idea too!

Q: How does the rescheduling process work if I need to change my date?

A: Great question! If you need to reschedule, just reach out to them via message as soon as you can. They’re pretty flexible and will do their best to accommodate your new date, but it’s always better to give them as much notice as possible.

Thinking about gifting the Mad Scientist Cocktail Lab – any tips?

Hey everyone! I’m considering getting the Mad Scientist Cocktail and Mocktail Lab for my partner’s birthday. He loves mixology but hasn’t done anything like this before. I’m curious about how the mobile lab option works since we might want to have some friends over too. Anyone tried it? How did you find the experience?

Just did the Mad Scientist Lab and it was epic!

OMG, I just got back from the Mad Scientist Cocktail and Mocktail Lab in Seattle, and it was beyond fun! We got to play with all these wild ingredients and the host was amazing, really helped us get creative. I tried making a cocktail with lavender and smoky flavors—it was such a cool experience! I'd totally recommend it as a gift or for yourself!
