Cocktail & Mocktail Masterclass at Ökēn

Experience the Art of Mixology

A unique Cocktail & Mocktail Masterclass hosted at Ökēn, the innovative cocktail bar nestled within TheMerode, perfectly timed to embrace Dry January while still celebrating great taste and creativity.

During this exclusive masterclass, you’ll step behind the scenes to discover Ökēn’s cutting-edge mixology techniques—applied to both cocktails and alcohol-free creations. Learn from expert mixologists, explore the science behind flavor balance, and discover how mindful, alcohol-free alternatives can be just as refined, festive, and satisfying.

Led by Ökēn Manager Jonathan Verbois, this immersive workshop will introduce you to the core principles of mixology, the  benefits of mocktails  and how they fit perfectly into a healthier, more conscious lifestyle during Dry January.

Together, you’ll be guided through the creation of two iconic drinks, reimagined for the occasion:

  • Cosmopolitan — a timeless, vibrant cocktail with a perfect balance of freshness and elegance.
  • Pornstar 0% — a bold and indulgent alcohol-free mocktail, proving it can still be full of flavor and pleasure.

Along the way, you’ll explore the essential techniques behind every great drink, with hands-on interaction, expert insights, and tips to recreate these recipes at home—whether with or without alcohol.

Whether you’re a cocktail enthusiast or simply curious about refined alcohol-free alternatives, you’ll leave inspired, informed, and ready to enjoy the pleasures of the season—mindfully and stylishly.

Jonathan Verbois

What began as a temporary move — applying for a job in a cocktail bar in Saint-Gilles — quickly became the start of a true vocation. A food enthusiast with four years of experience in hospitality as a student, he immediately recognised mixology as a natural extension of his passion for culinary creativity. After a year behind the bar, he pursued advanced training in Toronto, sharpening his technique and deepening his understanding of flavour, balance, and craft. Upon returning to Brussels, he managed the very bar where he had learned his foundations, before joining the Ökēn project from day one. Today, he is the mixologist and Operational Manager at Ökēn, where he continues to push boundaries, refine his approach, and share his vision of cocktails as an immersive, sensorial experience.
