Shake up your afternoon with Loki’s Cocktail Masterclasses, hosted by Carl Hawkins of Amuse Booze. Carl is a familiar face on Birmingham’s drinks scene, known for lively tastings that bring together excellent drinks, entertaining stories and a little hands-on experimentation.
Carl is also known as The Gintleman. Back in 2009, he created Birmingham’s Jekyll & Hyde, a gin bar that opened with 40 varieties. His interests now stretch well beyond gin: our Amuse Booze events explore everything from rum and spritzes to cocktail making, with a different theme to discover each time.
The events take place mainly at our Great Western Arcade store in Birmingham city centre, usually on a Saturday afternoon. Browse the dates below to see what’s coming up; each event page tells you more about the drinks and what to expect.
