Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need any experience?
None! Most people who book have made few cocktails in their life, and that's exactly who these sessions are designed for. Beka has spent thirteen years behind bars across the world, which means he's used to teaching people at every level. He reads the room and adjusts the pace, so if you're picking things up quickly you'll get pushed a bit further, and if you need something repeated, you'll get that too.
What's included in the price?
Your £39 covers the full seventy minutes of fun, every ingredient and piece of equipment you'll use, and the three cocktails you make yourself from start to finish. There's nothing extra to buy once you're in the room.
Can I buy a session as a gift?
Yes, and it's one of the more popular requests we get. Send us a message through the contact page with the occasion and roughly when you'd like the session to take place, and we'll arrange a booking that works for the person you're buying it for.
Can I cancel or reschedule?
Life happens, so if you let us know at least 48 hours before your session, we'll move you to another date with no charge. Conctact us via founder.tca@gmail.com with your full name and booking details to reschedule.
Where exactly is Nomad?
Nomad, 38 Warwick St, Leamington Spa CV32 5JS, United Kingdom. You can also find directions via Google Maps by clicking here.
Accessibility and parking
The Cocktail Academy sessions run in Leamington Spa town centre, with Sunday offering free parking for those parking on Warwick Street. In addition to this, The Royal Priors and Newbold Terrace car parks are both a short walk away, and the train station is around 15 minutes on foot if you'd rather not drive.
Allergens and dietary requirements
If you've got an allergy or an intolerance let us know when you book and Beka will adjust the recipes for you. Citrus and sugar syrups feature in most of our cocktails, and a couple of garnishes contain nuts, so it's worth flagging anything specific in advance rather than on the day, since substitutions are easier to plan for ahead of time.
