World Cocktail Day 2022: Where to celebrate and recipes
Looking for the best World Cocktail Day recipes? Or simply the best places for a tipple? Here’s our favourite ones that are perfect whether you’re hosting at home or going out on 13 May…
Where To Go
Bistro Union, Clapham
This quintessentially British neighbourhood bistro is located in the heart of Abbeville Village in Clapham, with Chef Adam Byatt at the helm.
However, it’s not just the food you should come here for, but the
cocktails too. Updated regularly, we have our eye on the BU Martini (£9): Element 29 Vodka, Noilly Prat Vermouth, Seaweed Tincture, Olive Brine, and the Regalitea (£12): Earl Grey Gin, Gonet Champagne, Lemon, Vanilla.
Shutters, Canary Wharf
Head to the upper level of Shutters and you’ll find Cartel, a dedicated cocktail bar inspired by the delights of Mexico. Stocked with artisan Mezcals, pure Tequilas, clean spirits, and top shelf tipples from around the world, expect a global cocktail list best enjoyed with a variety of tasty tacos.
Think Tempura Lobster (Blue corn tacos, Salsa Roja, lettuce and pickles), and Cornish Lobster and Crab Salad (Chipotle mayo, lettuce, corn tacos, and charred pineapple).
