via GetYourGuide ★ 5.0

This felt like the ideal warm-up for a night in Playa. We learned how to mix different Mexican cocktails, tasted our way through snacks, and the group loosened up quickly — lots of joking and passing plates around. By the time the class ended, everyone was in that sweet spot between full and happy, not heavy or tired. A few of us even left together to keep the night going...

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this drinks class worth booking instead of just ordering cocktails at a bar?

You won’t just drink, you’ll learn. A local host will teach you how to make iconic drinks, explain the ingredients and traditions behind them, and turn the experience into something hands-on, social, and memorable.

What if my plans change?

We know travel plans can shift. That’s why we offer flexible support, including rescheduling whenever possible, and many bookings also qualify for free cancellation depending on the platform’s policy.

Who hosts the class?

Your class is led by a local host with strong knowledge of regional drinks, ingredients, and drinking culture. Depending on the experience, your host may be a bartender, chef, or local food and drink expert.

Can you accommodate dietary restrictions or non-drinkers?

Yes. We can usually adapt snacks and some ingredients for most dietary needs if you tell us in advance, and non-alcoholic versions are often available for guests who prefer not to drink. The main exception is strict gluten-free or celiac requirements, since we cannot guarantee zero cross-contamination.

Is this a small-group experience?

Yes. Our drinks classes are designed for small groups of up to 12 guests, so the atmosphere stays personal, interactive, and fun.

Is this experience right for me if I’m not an expert in cocktails?

Absolutely. The class is designed for all levels, from complete beginners to travelers who already love cocktails and want a more local, hands-on experience.

Where does the class start, and is it easy to get there?

After booking, our booking manager will send you clear directions, the exact meeting point, and arrival tips. In most cases, it’s very easy to reach by Uber.
