Fun and interesting evening! The Mad Scientist has everything needed for mixology you’ve never even thought to try! Experimentation is the key word!!

lab·​o·​ra·​to·​ry | \ ˈla-b(ə-)rə-ˌtȯr-ē A place providing opportunity for experimentation, observation, or practice in a field of study. This is an ever-changing and high concept cocktail workshop (aka. laboratory) for those with 0 to 100 levels of experience. Unconventional, not a class; learn through experimentation! You get to take risks in this lab that you wouldn't normally take at home with hundreds of ingredients at your fingertips. Tools include smoking gun, test tubes, shaker sets, etc. It is my goal as your host to work with each of you and fine-tune each event to fit your individual mixology goals. By design, any awkwardness and negative judgement is kicked out the door in order for the madness to ensue!

It was honestly a big waste of time and money. It is nothing compared to what they advertise. The instructor constantly walks always to grab tools from downstairs she forgot to grab- unprepared. With that being said, you’re doing your own thing majority of the time rather than being lead as a class. When asking questions, response is “whatever you feel” “be a mad scientist” which granted, that’s the name of the class but it almost gave off that she had no clue about mixology. Rather than talking about the actual activity itself, she rambles on about her own personal life. I personally would not recommend this to anyone. It came out to ~$200 for you to make drinks in test tubes with not enough mixers. During the intro she mentioned how she would refill/restock items after, which she didn’t, we had to ask for water. Worst money ever spent for an “out of the norm” date for me. If you have never once made a cocktail before in your life, it could potentially be fun. But for the price, you’re better off just buying some supplies yourself.

It's a fun experience where you make your own adventure. Jen has a veritable collection of mixers, essences, liquors including non-alcoholic variants, and various odds and ends. She guides you through whatever experiments you want to try.

This was a fun experience to explore and learn new things and the guest lead was personable and fun. This is not a workshop, but you can ask questions about how to do things and learn from that. It’s a great way to create flavors and drinks that you couldn’t do at home.

I can’t recommend the Mad Scientist Cocktail and Mocktail Lab enough — what an absolute blast. From the second we walked in, the vibe was fun, light, and totally welcoming. Jen, our host, was incredibly knowledgeable but kept things relaxed and playful the whole time. You could tell she knew her stuff, but she made sure the focus stayed on creativity and enjoyment, not rules or perfection. What I loved most was how everyone participated — whether you’re a mixology nerd or just curious, there was zero pressure and no wrong way to experiment. The small, intimate group made it easy to connect and share creations, and somehow, everyone just fit. It felt like a perfect mix of structure and freedom, and by the end, we were all laughing and sipping drinks we’d never think to make on our own. A totally unique and memorable experience. If you’re in Seattle, go. Whether you drink alcohol or not, you’ll walk out with a smile.
