Launched in 2010, London Cocktail Week is the world’s original Cocktail Week taking place in the cocktail capital of the world – a festival which is not only a great way to discover the London bar scene but also the destinations that produce so many world-renowned drinks and the cocktails that inspire the making of some of the classic, and lesser-known, tipples.
For ten days between 3 – 13th October 2024, numerous bars and venues in London are taking part in the festival and we are proud to present a taste of Louisville in London alongside our drinks partners, Angel’s Envy, Woodford Reserve and Rabbit Hole for a truly memorable night at the recently Amazing Grace bar in London Bridge as part of the London Cocktail Week promotion.
Gothic Bar will be serving one of four Louisville themed cocktails during London Cocktail Week, including the Re-Fried Julep – made of Angel’s Envy bourbon, eucalyptus honey, yellow chartreuse and absinthe. Garnished with a salted fried mint – just delicious!
