Elixir Bar

*Please note we are not taking any more bookings until November when our renovations are complete. Get in touch if you’d like to organise something before November, and we’ll be glad to help. 

At our Elixir Bar you can craft your own bitters blends, tinctures and tonics from our extensive range of liquid botanicals and distilled quintessences.

Whether you’re drawn to the ritual, the flavour or building your own apothecary, the Elixir Bar is a hands-on introduction to the art of botanical blending.

Description

Learn to harness the power of plants as we guide you through the process of creating and using botanical elixirs. These potent little bottles of flavour and vitality are concentrated botanical extracts blended for flavour and to support everyday wellbeing.

People visit our Elixir Bar to create:

  • Bitters blends
  • Botanical tonics
  • Herbal tinctures

So just take a seat and we’ll guide you through building your chosen botanical elixir.

Here are the steps:

  1. Choose what to make. If you don’t already have a clear idea we can help you decide.
  2. Build a recipe using a theme, idea or hero botanical.
  3. Meet your ingredients: sample, experiment and select your flavours.
  4. Make up your blend with the help of our blending pyramids.
  5. Sample, share and make adjustments.
  6. Once perfected you’ll leave with a concentrate of your own blend to make up at home.

This is an easy and enjoyable process, and we’re here to guide you as you create something tailored to your palate and interests. Our team has developed award-winning gin recipes for New Zealand and international distillers, and is involved creating new and innovative botanical spirits, so you’re in good hands.

Our experience with plant extracts runs deep, and so does our respect for their therapeutic potential. We work closely with local medical herbalists, bringing their knowledge into our process so we can help you create tonics that are both beautifully flavoured and genuinely restorative.

Sessions are 1.5hrs, and can accommodate up to six people.
Discounts available for larger groups, just get in touch and we can arrange a time and date to suit.
