THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC HAS FORCED MANY COMPANIES TO SHIFT THEIR USUAL IN-PERSON EVENTS TO VIRTUAL ONES. HOWEVER, THAT DOESN’T MEAN YOU HAVE TO MISS OUT ON FUN AND INTERACTIVE TEAM-BUILDING ACTIVITIES. AT BAR LAB PLUS, WE RECENTLY ORGANISED A VIRTUAL COCKTAIL MASTERCLASS FOR OCADO FOR THEIR OFFICE CHRISTMAS PARTY, AND IT WAS A HUGE SUCCESS!

DUE TO COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS, THE TEAM WASN’T ALLOWED TO MEET IN PERSON, SO WE SENT EACH MEMBER A BOX WITH ALL THE INGREDIENTS AND EQUIPMENT NEEDED TO MAKE THEIR FAVOURITE DRINKS. FOR OCADO, WE SPLIT THE TEAM INTO TWO GROUPS TO CREATE A MORE INTIMATE SESSION. EACH MEMBER COULD CHOOSE FROM A RANGE OF COCKTAILS, INCLUDING FRENCH 75, ESPRESSO MARTINI, OLD FASHIONED AND MARGARITA.

WE HOSTED THE EVENT FROM OUR LONDON STUDIOS, WHERE WE PROVIDED PROFESSIONAL VIDEO, SOUND AND LIGHTING. OUR SKILLED BARTENDER GUIDED THE TEAM THROUGH EACH STEP OF THE COCKTAIL-MAKING PROCESS, ENSURING THAT EVERYONE HAD FUN AND LEARNED SOMETHING NEW. WE ALSO HELD A COMPETITION WHERE IMOGEN WON A COCKTAIL KIT AS SHE WAS THE FASTEST ONE TO ANSWER THE COMPETITION QUESTIONS.

IN TOTAL, WE HOSTED TWO SESSIONS FOR OCADO AND MADE OVER 500 COCKTAILS! THE VIRTUAL COCKTAIL MASTERCLASS WAS AN EXCELLENT WAY TO BRING THE TEAM TOGETHER, EVEN THOUGH THEY COULDN’T MEET IN PERSON. IT PROVIDED AN OPPORTUNITY FOR EVERYONE TO BOND OVER A SHARED EXPERIENCE WHILE LEARNING A NEW SKILL.

IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR A FUN AND ENGAGING TEAM-BUILDING ACTIVITY FOR YOUR NEXT CORPORATE EVENT, CONSIDER HOSTING A VIRTUAL COCKTAIL MASTERCLASS. AT BAR LAB PLUS, WE CAN CUSTOMISE THE EXPERIENCE TO FIT YOUR TEAM’S SIZE AND PREFERENCES. CONTACT US TODAY TO LEARN MORE!
