Aaah, refreshing things those cocktails! The Silver Fox and I had a deliciously fruity ol’ time of it this past Wednesday night. The event brought together 10 or so of the city’s best cocktail bars and their mixologists, showing off their wares and flare, and giving us a chance to put our hand to the ol’ Tom Cruise stuff (is there perhaps a more contemporary frame of reference ?- Ed) to our hearts’ content. All in the stunning environment of Mansfield Traquair. Nice.
The best of the night from Bond No 9, Oloroso, and Harvey Nicks. A slightly odd number from the Bon Vivant with black pepper, and a ridiculously girly affair with sprinkles and squirty cream from Lebowskis fell a tad left of the mark. Otherwise though, it was a rip-roaring three hours of spirited fun. Hope to see the event back again next year, and provision of some kind of foodie catering would be a huge bonus!
I’m so jealous! I had tickets for Cocktails in the City but could go because a work thing came up at the last moment. Looks like fun though.
Ooh – it was rather good. Just realised I forgot to mention the fancy cocktail from The Balmoral with the fresh thyme in it too. That was good!
Hopefully see you again at the next cake meet!
