The story
What the show is
Cocktail Lab Live is an immersive, in-person cocktail-making show. Half the room works behind their own station — shaking, stirring and tasting what they build — while the rest of the room watches, plays along and drinks it in. Live DJs run underneath the whole thing.
It grew out of peace, love & cocktails, Tassia Lacerda's long-running mixology community, and the idea was simple: a cocktail class shouldn't feel like a class. It should feel like a night out where you happen to leave knowing how to make three drinks.
The October 24, 2026 Spooky Edition is the show's Washington, DC night at Bryant Street Market — 150 guests, costumes encouraged, hosted by Tassia and the Lab Ladies. Guests earn Lab Bucks, the show's promotional reward credits, by taking part in optional trivia and bonus challenges, and trade them for small show-night items at the bar.
The team
Who's behind the bar
Tassia Lacerda
Host & creator
Tassia is the creator and host of Cocktail Lab Live and the founder of peace, love & cocktails. She teaches flavor the way people actually drink — hands on a shaker, no jargon, everything tasted as it is built. On stage she runs the room: demos, audience games, and a bar that never stops moving.
The Lab Ladies
Show crew
The Lab Ladies work the floor all night — coaching guests through each build, running trivia and bonus challenges, handing out show rewards and keeping 150 people moving between courses. They are the reason a first-timer finishes the night with three drinks they are proud of.
