london cocktail week 2015 (LCW)

monday 5 october - sunday 11 october 2015

monday begun with a ferocious, yet cleansing rain and also the london cocktail week, in the old spitalfields market, in london's east side. 

there are 275 cherry picked bars from thousands, to represent what is currently happening in the city's cocktail scene. 

bars, pop ups, masterclasses, parties, this hub of liquor will entice and challenge you, educate and inspire you and will get you drunk! naturally!

from north to south, west and east, there are bars for all tastes and persuasions. with spitalfields and soho, the LCW HQ. 

i enjoy these events, despite, my intense and brutal filtering and critique, so that i can keep up on the pulse of what is going on, meet new people and my buddies, try some liquor and just hang out in documenting and participating fun. 

get a wristband and visit the bars, who can make you their LCW cocktail for a fiver and get down to the village for some sampling and camaraderie. 

46 and mercy, bar termini, ghost vodka and an argentinian arepas, take my vote. 

cheers.

the vermouths and the boutique bar show 2014

bassoon bar at the corinthia hotel, near trafalgar square

for an exquisite tasting of some wonderful vermouths, including a favourite, introduced and poured by himself; giancarlo mancino. gorgeous liquors, stupendous bar and like minded folk into some quality and fun in a weekday afternoon. i got a little sample and made my own negroni at the bar later to my perfect satisfaction. that good. 

organised and curated by andrew scutts @ boutique bar show.

followed the same year, in september, by the boutique bar show, where a small and concise selection of spirits, wines and snacks, gets showcased in various halls around london... this year, it was useful and exciting to participate to a byrrh competition, check out what is going on out there, exchange, meet and network. dominic from the savoy, who rightfully won it, wanted my knife! go figure... fun, nonetheless! ©2014
