Alcohol-Free Taster/Discovery Session

Explore the world of alcohol-free drinks through a guided tasting experience designed to challenge expectations and expand your palate. This session focuses on a carefully selected range of alcohol-free wines, beers, spirits, sparkling teas and sodas - each chosen to showcase the quality, craftsmanship and diversity now emerging within the category.

Whether you’re cutting back, alcohol-free, or simply curious, this is an opportunity to discover just how far these drinks have come.

Led with insight and a passion for the category, the session goes beyond simply tasting. You’ll learn about the different production methods used to create alcohol-free drinks - from de-alcoholisation techniques to innovative fermentation and blending processes - helping you understand what’s in your glass and why it tastes the way it does. We’ll also explore how to taste alcohol-free drinks on their own merits, moving away from comparison and towards appreciation of their unique flavour profiles, textures and balance.

Relaxed, social and informative, this experience is designed to build confidence and curiosity in equal measure. You’ll taste a diverse range of styles, discover new favourites, and leave with a clearer understanding of how to choose alcohol-free drinks that suit your taste and occasion.

Functional Drinks Taster/Discovery Session

Step into a guided discovery of alcohol-free “mood enhancing” functional drinks -  a new and exciting way to explore how we drink, socialise, and support our wellbeing.

This fast-growing category is redefining the no and low space, offering thoughtfully crafted drinks designed to help you tap into the positive feelings often associated with alcohol -  from relaxation and sociability to focus and uplift -  without the downsides. Whether you’re completely new to functional drinks or simply curious about what’s out there, these sessions offer a welcoming introduction to a category that can feel complex at first glance.

Led by an experienced judge from The World Alcohol-Free Awards, each session combines expert insight with an approachable, enjoyable tasting experience. You’ll be guided through a carefully curated selection of alcohol-free beers, wines, spirits and sodas, all infused with functional ingredients such as adaptogens and nootropics. Along the way, we’ll demystify what these ingredients are - from ashwagandha to lion’s mane - and explore how they are used to support different mood states, including calm, energy, focus and connection.

These sessions are designed to be relaxed, social and genuinely engaging - a chance to discover new flavours, learn something new, and better understand how to choose drinks that align with how you want to feel. Whether you’re looking to unwind, boost your mood, or simply try something different, you’ll leave with practical knowledge, great recommendations, and a new perspective on alcohol-free drinking - all without the hangover.

  • "Maria hosted a workshop in my Canterbury shop, and I was blown away with her professionalism and her excellent teaching style, not to mention the delicious cocktail recipes! The event ran incredibly smoothly, and Maria's warm and friendly personality made everyone feel relaxed. The attention to detail, not only with the setup, but with the emphasis on locally sourced ingredients and supporting independent distilleries, was not lost on the attendees. Such a fantastic evening!"

    Happy & Glorious

  • "We recently hired the Midnight Muddler for a company mocktail making afternoon and everyone honestly loved it. The room looked stunning, you could tell a lot of thought had gone into the setup and it made the whole experience feel really special from the moment we walked in. Maria was brilliant. Super knowledgeable, really engaging, and explained everything in a way that actually made you feel like you could recreate the drinks yourself. The mocktails were next level, not your standard sugary drinks, but proper, well-crafted cocktails without the alcohol. Such a great experience and something a bit different, would 100% recommend!"
