Highlights
  • 1531 Melrose Ave - 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.

What's Included
  • Carbonated beverages
  • Bottled water
  • Use of all equipment along with instruction, including our smoking gun for infusing liquids as well as solids!
  • Snacks
Additional Information

laboratory - ˈla-b(ə-)rə-ˌtȯr-ē, A venue that allows space for tests, observations, or practical exercises related to various fields.

Welcome to this continually evolving, idea-driven cocktail craft station (or laboratory if you will) catering to all, from beginners to experts. It’s far from your regular cocktail class; it’s all about learning through innovation! Here, you’re encourage to stretch your boundaries, experiment with the vast range of ingredients available at your disposal. The facility comes packed with sophisticated tools such as a smoking gun, test tubes, shaker kits, and so on.

As your guide, it’s my responsibility to ensure each event is tailored to meet your unique mixology aspirations. The environment I try to create is free from uncomfortable moments and adverse judgement, letting creativity flow freely!

**Gift certificates are available! Also, note that, I can make arrangements for guests under 21; just send a direct message to sort everything out. :) Off-site accommodations for 20 or more guests are available in and around the wider Seattle area. Please reach out to us with your query.

Fun mixing crazy drinks - I showed up for the drinks, I stayed for the science! This is a great playground for imagining weird mixological reactions and then making them happen. The choices were endless, but Jen is great at getting you started and helping make their cocktail dreams happen. A fun evening.

Fun lab - Great fun experience! The tour operator was very responsive & experienced. It’s not a class but a lab you can work on your own

Tipsy fun - I went with my mother in law and it was so much fun. I would come with a couple crazy ideas to try when you go so you are not overwhelmed with all of the flavor options. It was a great experience and the owner was GREAT!

Fun Date Night! - It was a fun date night activity! Really got to put our creativity into our drinks. If you don’t know what to make, they have recipes that people have made in the past so you can try.

Fun, approachable cocktail experimentation - I was looking for a fun experience for my friends birthday. The mad scientist cocktail lab didn’t disappoint. you start by picking your scientist name, which is anything except your actual name. Then you get to choose from almost any mixer, ingredient, infusion, technique, and tool under the sun. I got to play around with a smoking gun, infusions, and edible glitter. There are recipes or you can choose your own adventure. It was very approachable, the host was extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and incredibly organized. Would definitely go again!

Mad Lab - This isnt a cocktail class. Its very much a laboratory where you can experiment with exotic ingredients and expand your knowledge. Our host was funny and informative. Definitely coming back to test out some new cocktail experiments.

Create the unthinkable (and sometimes the undrinkable) - Dr. Double Shot & Master MOMnoon brought our six other family members here last night and concocted some delicious (and a couple not delicious) libations in the Mad Scientist Cocktail Lab. Be warned: this is NOT a mixology class! Who knew you could mix vodka w limeade, cardemom bitters, smoked orange peel, fresh cucumber, and I'm not even what else I put in there... and enjoy the result! SUPER FUN evening.

Overbooked and no assistance - We were looking forward to experience after seeing on evening magazine articles. We didn't get much direction and the activity was overbooked/crowded.
