recipes second.

The programs
Four programs, and a small bar is plenty
Three spirits, citrus and sugar make most of the canon. Nobody needs forty bottles to learn this.
Balance & technique
Spirit, sugar and acid in proportion, plus shaking, stirring and the dilution nobody accounts for.
See the programThe classics
Old fashioned, daiquiri, martini, negroni and highball — the templates every other drink is built from.
See the programSyrups & garnish
Simple syrups and infusions, citrus handling, ice at home, and garnish that adds something.
See the programHosting & batching
Batching drinks in advance, a small bar that covers most requests, and serving guests responsibly.

How it works

A drink alone teaches nothing. The same drink at two ratios teaches balance in one sitting.
Two drinks a week
Side by side, with one variable changed.
Taste and write it down
Before you adjust, and again after.

How we work
Adults only, and sensible about it
This is for people 21 and over. Zaveloi sells and ships no alcohol, and takes no commission from any brand, so nothing here is steering you toward a bottle someone paid to promote.
Cocktails should be small, slow and occasional. We build menus with good non-alcoholic options, we talk about serving guests responsibly, and if drinking is something you're better off without, this isn't the hobby for you.
Frequently asked
The questions we get most
How many bottles do I need?
Three to start: a whiskey or rum, a gin or tequila, and a vermouth. Plus citrus and sugar. That covers most of the classics.
Do you sell or ship alcohol?
No, never. You buy locally, and we take no commission from any brand or shop.
Is this bartending certification?
No. We coach home cocktail making. Bar licensing and alcohol service certification vary by state and are a separate matter entirely.
Can I do this without drinking much?
Yes. Drinks are small, you can split or share them, and we cover non-alcoholic versions of most templates.
My drinks always taste too sweet.
Very common, and usually syrup volume rather than the spirit. Once you taste two ratios side by side it's easy to correct.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. No contract, no minimum term. Access stays open until the end of the month you already paid for.
Want drinks that taste balanced?
Twenty minutes on your shelf and where to start. Free, and 21+.
