Four cocktail recipes for London Bourbon Experience
Bartenders from the UK capital’s top bars have created a signature recipe using Remus whiskey for the London Bourbon Experience.
As autumn takes shape in London, American whiskey producer Luxco is getting the capital well-acquainted with Bourbon, partnering with a number of bars to create cocktail recipes that showcase the spirit as its base.
Part of the 2024 London Bourbon Experience – Luxco’s annual celebration of the American spirit in the UK capital – the recipes highlight Remus Bourbon in classic serves such as the Old Fashioned and Whiskey Sour, and then through imaginative creations from the minds of the some of the city’s top bartenders.
The cocktails are available until 5 December, a date that marks the repeal of prohibition in the US – repealed on 5 December 1933.
