Don’t miss experience - It was a wonderful end to a great day. Jennifer took the time to tailor the experience to our group. We started by mixing a variety of cocktails both good and bad with only the best ingredients. She provided snacks and even grabbed food from local restaurants for us as our evening progressed. We couldn’t have asked for a more memorable experience! I would highly recommend for a small group of friends for a special night or on vacation.

a great date idea to break the norm - This is a great place to go for a fun and creative experience. The lab is designed for people of all experience levels, so you don't need to be a mixologist to have a good time. There are hundreds of ingredients and tools available for use, so you can create whatever you can imagine. The atmosphere is fun and relaxed, and the owner, Jen, is knowledgeable and helpful. She is always happy to answer questions and offer suggestions. I highly recommend the Mad Scientist Cocktail and Mocktail Lab for anyone looking for a unique and enjoyable experience. It is a great place to go for a date night, a group outing, or just a fun night out with friends.

Fun time experimenting with cocktails. - First, the space the workshop was in was incredible. It was upstairs in a loft in an old brick building just up on Capitol Hill from the Convention Center. It felt like a hidden speakeasy. There were loads of interesting curios around the lab: an old phone (that worked), books with secret compartments, a fortune cookie dispenser with adults-only fortunes, a bar globe, among other fascinating artifacts. The host spent the first 10 or 15 minutes explaining how things work and emphasized that it was not a mixology class, but rather a laboratory where all the time was yours to spend experimenting. There seemed to be dozens of different types and brands of alcohol and hundreds of different things you could add to the alcohol: sweet syrups, flavored bitters, ice, smoke, fruit, dried spices, etc. For my first cocktail, I decided to keep it simple and create a rum old-fashioned with some spice. The drinks that followed were much more experimental, using things like avocado powder, glitter, charred salt, smoke, chocolate, and rosemary. Altogether, I made four drinks in the two hours and sampled other people's drinks as well. The host and her assistant were super friendly and answered any questions I asked them. I highly recommend this activity for both groups, singles and for a good date night.

Mad Scientist Cocktail and Mocktail Lab - The Mad Scientist Cocktail and Mocktail Lab was an experience like no other. From the moment you step through the doors and into the lab there is a level of sophistication and creativity. I do not want to give too much away, but the lab experience is the opportunity to unleash your creativity and experiment with different flavor combinations. From smoky mezcal infusions to tangy citrus blends, the possibilities are endless. With a vast array of ingredients at your disposal, you're free to let your imagination run wild and create drinks that are as unique as you are. Jen does a great welcoming her guests in and I feel it is a must go and visit if you are in town. Additionally, to have the opportunity to even mix, mingle, and connect with people is fanatic especially since Seattle has this misconception of an introvert town.

Good times - Good times. A fun way to play with cocktails without having to invest in a million ingredients. Or you can go off the rails and make something truly unhinged.

Needs more structure!!! - Enjoyed the class but it needs more structure. I was hoping for more instruction versus just letting people play with ingredients..

Eh, it was okay - The experience was okay. Our host didn’t even know we were coming. Kind of got half of an explanation. And not really hands on.
