ACADEMY

raising the bar with top-SHELF EDUCATION

Traditional bartending workshops have become bland and boring. Yawn. So we’ve added a Monkey Shoulder twist to give things a fresh aspect. Get ready to master your skills in a whole new way.
This multi-sensory experience is an opportunity to craft cocktail classics with a twist, dive deep into the art of hospitality and learn how to promote yourself to the max.
‍
To be the best, you’ve gotta learn from the best, so we’ve got a whole crew of industry icons and professional experts ready to teach you all you need as you make your way to the top.

So join us for a fast-paced, multi-sensory experience led by top mixologists, hospitality marketeers and PR masterminds, hosted by our Brand Ambassadors and ably assisted by some top-name DJs.

what to expect

the SESSIONS

Each event is slightly different depending on the hosts involved, but you can expect the Monkey Business Academy to last about six hours with up to four different sessions – covering music, hospitality, mixolgy and personal branding – throughout the day. But don’t panic, there’ll be plenty of breaks, while lunch and snacks will also be provided.

You can also expect there to be a whole heap of socialising, opportunities to chat to Monkey Shoulder Brand Ambassadors as well as the hosts, and plenty of delicious cocktails.
