Welcome to Science of Cocktails

Every winter, the Exploratorium’s Science of Cocktails event presents the artistry of master mixologists shaken with the science behind the craft. Guest mixologists will join us from popular San Francisco bars to mix delicious cocktails, while guests participate in interactive science experiments about alcohol, inebriation, hangovers, cocktail creation, and more. Taking an in-depth, hands-on look at the physics, chemistry, and biology of cocktails, the event will engage you in an exploration of your favorite libations in ways you’ve never experienced before.
