The Philosophy
Art of the Cocktail opens the door to a world of elegant spirits: great classics, the fresh trend, established players, niche bitters and the artisan regional distillers.
Seasonal. Gourmet. Micro. These are all words that apply to making sophisticated culinary cocktails. True mixologists worry about the shape and size of ice, the quality of their bitters and finding the perfect balance of flavours. They tinker with dehydrators to crisp garnishes, smokers to lend complexity, and these masters of the bar whip up fresh fruit purees, house made grenadine, infuse syrups, and raid the kitchen for exotic ingredients. The Slow Food movement has invaded cocktail hour.
Modern, elegant, expertly crafted and above all thoughtful are the styles that have come to define the best cocktails. Art of the Cocktail is at the forefront of demonstrating, promoting and building the cocktail culture.
