Planning virtual social events isn’t always easy. So we created this guide to help you create your own free virtual cocktail class in 3 simple steps - How to Make a James Bond 007 Martini... Shaken, not stirred.

Step 1 - Make Sure Everyone has the Ingredients Below

Make sure each person is ready and buys the items from the list below. We recommend giving each person 1 week to purchase the ingredients:

• Basic Bartending Kit - $30
• 3 ounces gin (Gordon’s preferable) - $10
• 1 ounce vodka - $5
• ½ ounce lillet blanc or sweet vermouth - $15
• Lemon - $.67
• Ice - NA
• Total - $50.67

PRO TIP: Skip shipping and logistics headaches and use Hoppier to give your attendees spending cards to make purchases beforehand.

Step 2 - Send an Email and Calendar Invite to Your Attendees

Here’s a fun email template you can send to your attendees. For the video conferencing software we recommend using Rally.Video as you can break people up into ‘rooms’ during or after the class. It is the best tool for virtual networking we’ve seen.
