Cocktail Shakers – Bangkok Team Building Program Overview
Participants are divided into teams, provided with spirits, tools, garnishes, and guided by professional mixologists. After a quick demo of classic cocktail-making techniques, each team gets to:
- Plan their recipe – Choose ingredients and name their drink
- Shake it up – Mix their cocktail under timed conditions
- Present and pitch – Sell their creation to judges based on flavor, presentation, and storytelling
- Battle it out – Face off in team relay mix-offs and bartending challenges
Between cocktail rounds, teams enjoy themed games, trivia, and energizers, all designed to keep the fun flowing.

This team building activity normally takes place in a bar, a school, a meeting room or restaurant. This can also mean being on a boat, a tropical island or the top of a sky scraper. Alternatively, clients may suggest their own location to conduct this event.
The winning team is decided by a professional mixologist who will judge the cocktails for authenticity, taste, presentation and quality.
There are no safety concerns.
The event briefing and debrief takes place at the activity location. The group is separated into teams and introduced to their facilitators, then the lead facilitator gives an introduction of the event including (safety) instructions and objectives for the activity.
During the debrief, the facilitator discusses the event challenges and asks each team questions to assess their performance before announcing the winning team (if applicable).
Briefing and debrief usually take around 15 minutes each but can be extended for more in-depth analysis of team performance.
The ideal length for this activity is two hours mixing and presentation time. Trips to and from the activity location may be added or extended and of course, spend as much time as you like after the competition enjoying the drinks together.
