Having experiences is on the top of many people's minds this summer and the [Drake Hotel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-drake-hotel) in Toronto is set on providing just that with its new Drink Well bottle service. Instead of being served in a typical fashion, this reservation lets guests in on the action by teaching them how to [mix their own drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-mixology).

A fun way to spend an afternoon on a patio, the Drink Well service involves a [mixologist who teaches people](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sip-and-learn) how to make one of six staple beverages including Moscow Mule, Mojito, Gin ‘n’ Tonic, Dark ‘n’ Stormy and an Old Fashioned. Each table is provided with all the necessary ingredients, glasses, ice, garnishes as well as a recipe for a quick refresher once guests are left to their own devices.

## Key Themes

### What Makes This Trend Stand Out

- **Hands-on Experiences:** The trend of hands-on experiences allows customers to actively participate in creating their own products or services, creating a more engaging and memorable experience.

### Sectors Adopting This
