This Christmas, we're raising a glass to something rather special. Mainline Spirits is bringing its Cocktail Making Workshops to The Ideal Christmas Show, inviting you to shake, stir, and sip your way through a delicious line-up of festive creations. 

Perfect for a Christmas day out with friends, these hands-on workshops are your chance to step behind the bar, pick up expert tips and master cocktails filled with seasonal flavours.

All Aboard the Gin Train

Gin lovers, your festive journey starts here. Take your seat aboard the Gin Train and enjoy three cocktails inspired by the glamour of classic rail travel.

Begin with a Sloe Gin French 75, before moving on to the Festive Bee’s Knees, combining gin with rosemary-infused honey and fresh lemon. Your final stop is the magical Snow Globe, a shimmering mix of gin, elderflower and citrus finished with aromatic rosemary.

Take a Ride on the Rum Train

For something a little richer, hop aboard the Rum Train for warming spices and indulgent festive flavours.

Sip a Christmas Rum Old Fashioned, enjoy a seasonal take on a classic with the Snow Drift Daiquiri, then finish with the Christmas Parcel, a Christmas Pudding Rum Martini packed with spice, sweet dried fruit and all the flavours of the season.

Catch The Evening Express

Make Thursday evening a little more special with The Evening Express, an exclusive session available on Thursday the 26th of November only. Enjoy a cocktail on arrival before picking up tips from the Mainline Spirit experts, then get hands-on in the workshop as you shake, stir and create two cocktails of your own. 

Whether you’re a gin lover, rum fan or simply fancy adding a little extra sparkle to your Christmas day out, gather your favourite people and get ready to raise a glass.
