The House of Botanicals Discovery Sessions (The Drinks of Cocktail)
About: As an extension to our new Cocktail Experience, The House of Botanicals will be taking one-off deep-dives into a select number of the world’s most famous mixed drinks, styles and themes at our monthly Discovery Sessions.
Tour Details: Though the movie has been somewhat ridiculed since its release in 1989, few can doubt it’s cult status and how different it was from the original book adaptation, written by Heywood Gould. At the Drinks of Cocktail Discovery Session we’ll feature three modern adaptations of 80s cocktails such as the Woo Woo, Kamikaze, Amaretto Sour, and Long Island Iced Tea, as well as sample some 1960s Louis XIII Cognac (market value of £3000.00-5000.00 per bottle) enjoyed by Douglas Coughlin (Bryan Brown) and Brian Flanagan (Tom Cruise) in the movie. The session will be hosted by our founder Adam Elan-Elmegirab, author of the ‘Book of Bitters’ and ‘How to Fix the Perfect Cocktail’, and formerly a multi-award winning bartender, UK Bartender of the Year Finalist, and judge for the ‘World’s 50 Best Bar Awards’ and ‘Tales of the Cocktail’s Spirited Awards’.
