Mad Scientist Cocktail and Mocktail Lab

The Mad Scientist Cocktail and Mocktail Lab is a unique, fun, and entertaining experience that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a creative interactive event. The lab is an a hands on cocktail and/or mocktail workshop that provides you the opportunity to experiment and learn about mixology! During the evening, you can try out hundreds of ingredients that you wouldn’t normally have access to at home to make your own signature drink while hanging out with friend and/or family. Jen, the original Mad Scientist, is knowledgeable and friendly, and provides tips, tricks, and snacks to help you create your perfect drink. You will have the opportunity to learn about infusions and smoking your drink if you desire. This was a fantastic evening, and we will be back with more friends for another adventure into mixology with Jen. Whether you are going with your team, friends, or family, you will laugh, learn, and leave lighter than when you walked into the lab.

I booked this as a five year anniversary gift for my boyfriend. We had so much fun! There are so many interesting ingredients you can use, with endless combinations. We'll definitely be going again!

This was an amazing experience. We had the freedom to do whatever our imagination could think of. They all the needed supplies, ingredients and techniques available to try different ideas. Plus we got to try some drinks from the other class members. If you like to be experimental with cocktails, give this a shot.

Had a great time doing the workshop, it was really fun to mix and match different ingredients to find your perfect drinks! Would highly recommend as an activity to do as a couple or with some friends. Jen really knew what they were doing and very friendly, recommended some good tips. Would definitely come back if we ever visit Seattle again.

Highly recommend: One bespoke drink? Perhaps two or three? So good that you can cap off with a Smoking drink! Literally. The Head LabCoat will show you how to use the smoking gun, if you like theatrical drinks.

I had a fun immersive experience. In a loft space which reminded me of a quaint study in some English Cottage. I plan on returning with friends for some cozy winter-evening revelry.

Pick up a book, only to find a hidden flask of your next libation? Possible here. There were also naughty fortune cookies. The ambience carried me away to where I feel like mine said, “You know my methods, Watson”…I certainly learned some new means of infusing vodka with spices. So lonely to be 6 times distilled.

Located in a special enclave of the Hill, not only can you explore mixology inside but you can leave informed about the unique possibilities that abound for your Seattle trip. The Chief LabCoat aka HLC (see above) is a cool Local (Unicorn).

This was so fun! Great idea for small groups or work event. You should have a bit of an idea of flavor profiles but the host encourages you to try new things and you can always start over if you don't like what you made! A couple people in my group were a bit intimidated by the vast options but once they got comfortable they had a blast.

Being an out-of-state traveler it was a JOY to find this experience while visiting Seattle!!! The atmosphere was so enchanting with all its vintage charm and fun ingredients/equipement to experiment with. My husband and I got into the role of going "mad" with our creativity on what kind of insane cocktails we could make! 🤪 I never had a Dirty Martini before so I gave that a try. I asked a fellow mad scientist to help me with the basic recipe since she is a big fan of them. Then I add my own crazniess with pickle juice, some hot pepper sauce, red editable glitter, and dried jalapenos slices. Also we made a bunch of other fun drinks that night as well, but my "Evil Martini" was my prized favorite🍸🍹🍷. "Dr. Jan" the head mad scientist of this fabulous lab, was very professional on keeping everything sanitary and organized. She also has the prefect party music playlist to shake and stir to💃🏽 We would do this experience again if ever in this area since there are so many new creations we could make each time.

The cocktail workshop was great, I had an opportunity to try tens of flavors mixed or infused, and found a couple new favorite ingredients for my home bar. Thank you!

Ok, if you’re interested enough in the cocktail/mocktail mad scientist lab experience to be reading reviews, just GO FOR IT! My wife and I spent a week vacationing in Seattle and the surrounding areas, and this was definitely one of the top experiences for our trip. The lead mad scientist (host) Jen was knowledgeable, encouraging, and fun! The laboratory location- the GreenFire Loft- was just as cool as could be, and stocked with super premium drink making materials and equipment, and Jen helped us really cut loose with the standard stuff as well as some of the more unexpected ingredients and tools too. Next time we’re in Seattle, we’re definitely coming back to do it again, and in the meantime, we’ll be employing our new drink mixing skills at home. We did the Mocktail session, and we’re thrilled to get introduced to a variety of non-alcoholic spirits that we’ll be ordering to stock the bar with at home. Thanks to this super fun experience, we’ll be sipping exotic drinks and sharing the excitement for years to come. Thanks Jen, hope to be back in lab-coats with you again sometime in the future!

This was an incredible experience! There are so many ingredients and so much freedom to experiment with crazy flavors and cocktail concepts. It's a great way to try stuff you otherwise wouldn't buy on it's own. The host is awesome! Jen is super knowledgeable and funny which made the experience extra fun. I highly recommend this for a date or a group setting!

This was a fun experience we won't ever forget! The lab has all kinds of curious things to look at. There's also a fortune cookie machine that spits out fortune cookies that are NSFW (not suitable for work). We had some great laughs while making our drinks. We had drinkers and nondrinkers in our group, and it was a blast for everyone. I really like the special touches -- lab coats, nametags, edible glitter, dehydrated fruits for the drinks...the list goes on.

Jen also mentioned she has adapted these labs for kids and work groups. This would be a fun team building event, or a fun way to spend a teenage birthday party.

Great location, fun time. This is great place for a couple or for group of friends. Well money spend. Highly recommend

EXCELLENT DATE/FUN TIME IDEA! The venue is a really beautiful loft space that’s very thoughtfully designed and filled with all sorts of unique and decorative items — some handed down from family, some handcrafted by our host — plus the collection of spirits, spices, teas, mixers, and more is HUGE!

I have friends who’re cocktail fiends and have impressive home bars, but this space really has it all! (And if they don’t, they welcome suggestions!)

You get to drink as much or as little as you like, experiment and play with all the provided resources, and I found that it really increased my respect for mixology. It was a little daunting trying to come up with tasty recipes on your own! Fortunately they have a collection of recipes from previous participants which can serve as a quick way to start, but if you’re trying to make something special and uniquely yours—even with my own home cooking background—expect a little bit of analysis paralysis!

Even if you make something that isn’t quite what you’re looking for (perhaps even vile!!!) you can share your concoctions with your friends and watch them wretch— I mean, get some suggestions for how to improve your work!

Be sure to eat a little bit beforehand as you can get buzzed real fast while taking multiple “test sips”. Some charcuterie is provided and I demolished quite a bit of it on my own due to some vodka-related miscalculations. The meat and cheese was SO good and could also be smoked using the provided smoke gun! (Maybe next time I’ll make some kind of…smoked prosciutto…manhattan???)

Overall, I had an EXCELLENT time and will be bringing more friends in the future. We were lucky enough to be in a group of really lovely people, but even if you go on your own and would rather keep to yourself I imagine it can still be a good time! The host is an incredible, creative human being who has tons of stories and knowledge to share. Highly highly highly recommend the experience and I can’t wait to come back!

It was awesome! Thanks to her, I had the freedom to make whatever I wanted no matter how good or bad it was!

Did this with my friends and we had a blast! Parking was a little bit of a pain but the experience made it worth it. We definitely will do this again.

Fun activity to do with friends and get out of the monotony. Make sure to get early to find parking or just Uber there if possible

Went with my girlfriend and learned a lot! Got to experience what some of the fancy expensive bars use to make their $42 cocktails without the risk on my wallet. Jen was great very informational 10/10 recommend to a friend.
