Name a better team building activity to follow a full team strategy day!
We headed to Monument, to the Mills & Reeve London Office ready for the perfect end to the event teams Strategy Day. The super events team like to think of themselves as Avengers so it was an easy theme for us to plan cocktails for!
Whilst the team were just next door, we set up one of the meeting rooms for a private cocktail making class experience! Each of the 10 guests has their own setting with copper cocktail making equipment and glassware. We also printed out a themed cocktail menu and instructions.
The room was transformed and smelt beautifully inviting with the fresh Basil for cocktail number 1!
First up was the She Hulk, a Gin Basil Smash. Giles tested their cocktail knowledge as he talked the team through the equipment that they each had. The excitement was added to when Giles added a little edible glitter! Today we used our very own Stag Gin Smooth. The team all chose alcoholic versions but we would have used Lyres London Dry to great the same non alcoholic cocktail. The first shaken cocktail saw a few nervous faces, lots of questions and giggles but everyone was so impressed with their own creations and enjoyed a refreshing cocktail that they remarked they wouldn’t have necessarily normally chosen off a menu.

Next up was an Espresso Martini, aptly named ‘With Great Coffee Comes Great Responsibility’. Our normal format for a cocktail masterclass is one shaken cocktail, followed by a stirred or muddled but the team needed a wake me up after a full on day so this was the obvious choice. We love telling the story of why we use Mr Black Coffee Liqueur and seeing Espresso Martini lovers enjoy our recipe! There were a few that needed a more vigorous shake!
Last up was our take on the Shield with a layered shooter. Pineapple Rum Liqueur, Grenadine and White Rum Mix and Bristol Syrup’s Disco Blue. After a few spillages, lots of laughs and some very impressed people with their new skills, it was a big cheers to team building activities, learning new skills and a couple of hours of fun!
