classes: Cocktail

Welcome to Happy Hour Academy, where every hour is a celebration of flavor, connection, and creativity. Born in 2020, at a time when the world needed a reason to raise a glass and find joy in shared moments away from isolatino, our story began with a simple but profound idea: to bring the art of mixology to everyone, no matter where they are.

Founded by Orlando Carreira, an award-winning mixologist with over 20 years of bar and restaurant leadership experience, Happy Hour Academy quickly became a sanctuary for spirited moments of laughter, learning, and connection. Orlando’s vision was to make high-level cocktail craftsmanship approachable, entertaining, and inclusive, blending the precision of mixology with the warmth of human connection.

What started as a way to bridge the gap between physical distance quickly grew into an alchemy of cocktail entertainment, responsible gifting, and hands-on education. From interactive virtual mixology classes that turn living rooms into cocktail bars to bespoke corporate gifting kits that spark delight, we’ve reimagined how people celebrate together.

Our signature offerings include beautifully curated cocktail kits, immersive mixology experiences (both virtual and in-person), and expert-led workshops tailored for corporate events, holiday celebrations, or just because. Each kit is a testament to our commitment to quality, featuring premium ingredients and tools to inspire creativity and connection.

At Happy Hour Academy, we believe that every pour tells a story, every sip sparks a memory, and every gathering deserves to be unforgettable. So whether you’re here to learn, to gift, or to create, we’re honored to be part of your happy hour.

Cheers to moments that matter,

The Happy Hour Academy Team
