We’d love to hear from you.
Hello there
I’m Meredith. Let’s get together for drinks!
A curious home bartender at heart, Meredith Powell honed her mixology and teaching skills as the Beverage Director at Orange Door Kitchen where she launched a popular cocktail education program and managed the bar for private parties and public events. Following the closure of Orange Door Kitchen in 2020, Meredith founded Orange Door Workshop to continue bringing friends together with good drinks and lively conversation. Her approach to craft cocktails is accessible, flavor-driven, and spirited, combining practical know-how with a light-hearted attitude about mixing drinks at home. She loves creating and sharing original recipes, and teaching about how handmade syrups, tinctures, liqueurs, and bitters can turn a basic mixed drink into an innovative craft cocktail. Meredith is a regular mixology instructor at the New England Botanic Garden. She is a personal trainer, supper club hostess, and interior design enthusiast when she is not behind the bar. She lives in Acton, MA, with her husband, Chris, and two dogs.
“so so much fun.”
What people are saying about mixology classes with Orange Door Workshop…
“Thank you again for a beautiful party. The drinks were amazing. My husband had a blast and we got rave reviews from all the guests.”
“Your classes are AMAZING, creative, engaging and just plain fun. Thank you for bringing your skill, talents and passions to Tower Hill. Honestly, I thought bitters were bitters and all gin was dry. I’ve become a connoisseur of ginger beer and now am itching to spice my own rum!”
“As a Mixologist, Meredith has been partnering with The Parents Estate Planning Law Firm since before COVID.
We were hosting our live estate planning seminars at Orange Door Kitchen where we met Meredith. The onset of COVID made it necessary to pivot and think of new ways to bring our seminars to young families. Meredith was starting Orange Door Workshop and was ready and willing to work with us as we developed an online Mixology event. She was immediately on board with our theme of “Beyond Basic Ingredients” and greatly helped to add a touch of fun and lightness to the difficult topic of estate planning.
Meredith is always a great warm-up for our virtual seminars. She is professional and engaging and makes sure everyone is having a good time. Her presentation is top notch, and her cocktails are always unique and delicious. I would highly recommend Meredith and Orange Door Workshop for any event where you are looking to add an interesting and unique touch and have a lot of fun!
