If I am honest, it was not the best start as this London
Cocktail Week pop up was running both a bar upstairs and a DIY kitchen event
downstairs and we were a bit confused which queue was which; most annoying when
it is also raining. But we got there in the end, and joined the crowd around three
large butcher block type wooden tables to enjoy an evening with The Bon Vivant’s
team from Edinburgh.
Now this was all the way back in October so I cannot
remember exact details, but I know there was:
- Cured salmon and pear
- Smoked duck and fig
- Monkey shoulder infused Christmas cake
And along with all this food we watched then tried to
replicate the cocktails we were taught, a mixture of stirred, shaken and then the
infused whisky straight. Here are some lovely pics to give you an idea of the
evening:

It was good, with a nice crowd of people and the cocktail styles
covered all palates. However, we were just starving – and tipsy – by the end
and the cake infused shot didn’t do it for us which was a shame – in theory it
should have been fab. All I do know is that every time you go to Edinburgh, you
should visit these guys. They really know their stuff.
