Beyond Catering: Creating a Bespoke Cocktail Masterclass for Galetti Corporate Real Estate

Corporate events are changing. Teams are increasingly looking for experiences that go beyond the traditional sit-down lunch or dinner. They want something interactive, social and memorable — an experience that gives people an opportunity to connect outside of their usual working environment. 

Through Gemelli Bespoke, we’re able to take the hospitality and creativity associated with Gemelli and build those experiences around the client. One of our recent events with Galetti Corporate Real Estate was a perfect example.

Bringing the Cocktail Bar to the Client 

For this event, the brief was to create an interactive experience for the women of Galetti Corporate Real Estate to celebrate Women's Day, and rather than simply providing drinks, the Gemelli Bespoke team created a complete cocktail masterclass, bringing the experience directly to the client. 

Our team arrived with the equipment and tools required for the session, including cocktail shakers and everything needed to turn the space into a hands-on cocktail-making experience. The guests weren't there simply to watch, they were there to make the drinks themselves.

Three Cocktails. One Hands-On Experience. 

The masterclass centred around three classic cocktails: 

1. Aperol Spritz 
2. Margarita 
3. Whiskey Sour 

Our team guided the group through each serve, demonstrating the techniques involved before giving everyone an opportunity to get behind the bar themselves. From measuring and mixing to shaking, pouring and presenting the final cocktail, the experience was designed to be accessible, interactive and - most importantly - enjoyable. 

It transformed what could have been a conventional corporate gathering into something the team could actively participate in together. 

What Makes an Experience ‘Bespoke’? 

For Gemelli, bespoke doesn't simply mean changing the menu.  It means starting with the occasion and asking: What kind of experience are we trying to create? 

Sometimes the answer is an intimate private dinner. Sometimes it is a large corporate function or brand activation. And sometimes, as with Galetti, it's putting a cocktail shaker in everyone's hands and teaching them how to make a great Margarita.

Gemelli Bespoke allows us to build around the client rather than asking the client to fit into a predetermined event format. That can include the food and beverage offering, the style of service, the format of the experience and the level of interaction guests have with our team.
