Step into Malmaison Cheltenham and swap the ordinary for the extraordinary. The Emperor’s Pour Cocktail Masterclass is your invitation to an evening of bold flavors, playful storytelling, and hands-on mixology with serious style.

From the moment you arrive at Malmaison Cheltenham, the tone is set. Low lighting, clinking glassware, and that unmistakable Mal buzz in the air.

You’re welcomed with a Bellini on arrival, the perfect sparkling start as you’re introduced to your mixology maestro and shown to your bar for the evening.

Meet your mixologist

Our expert mixologists are more than bartenders—they’re performers, teachers, and storytellers in one. They’ll guide you through the art of balance, flavor, and technique, sharing insider tips and tricks as you go.

Expect flair, fun, and a little friendly competition. The best muddler of the night? Wins an extra cocktail. Naturally.

Your cocktail journey

Across the evening, you’ll create four signature cocktails, each inspired by a different theme:

  • Love – Peaches & Cream
    Soft, sweet, and dangerously charming.
  • Infidelity – Pornstar Martini
    Bold, brazen, and unapologetically seductive.
  • Forgiveness – Garden of Eden
    Fresh, green, and temptingly pure.
  • Power – Espresso Martini
    Strong, sleek, and ready to conquer the night.

You’ll shake, stir, muddle, and pour under expert guidance—learning the stories behind each serve as you go.

Small plates, big flavor

  • Seafood tempura
  • Crab tacos
  • Buffalo chicken thighs
  • Sticky beef noodle salad
  • Black truffle & Parmesan fries

Designed for sharing, perfect for grazing, and ideal for keeping creativity flowing.

The finale

By the end of the night, you won’t just know how to make cocktails—you’ll have your own Malmaison moments to take away. Stay for another drink at the bar, book a table at Chez Mal, or turn it into a full-on Cheltenham escape with an overnight stay.
