We're proud to be partnering with Nico de Soto, Shelley Tai and Danilo Pozone, three of the most exciting names in the world of hospitality right now.
Combining the passion, creativity and authenticity of Paris, Dubai, Singapore and London – Nico, Shelley and Danilo’s favourite global cocktail destinations – they have joined forces to create the drink of the future.
Pre-batched and minimalism is the key long-term direction we see around the world and is just one part of the exciting global cocktail scene’s future. The simple yet elegant ‘Voyage’ cocktail represents the future and not the arrival point for our industry.
The diverse food scenes, drinking habits and cocktail cultures of Paris, Dubai, Singapore and London have all been artfully considered and combined to deliver a drink that’s truly unique and wonderfully memorable.
‘Voyage’ brings together the spices of the local souk markets of Dubai, the citrusy flavours of Singapore and herbal Suze and warming Cognac native to France. All of which have been further elevated by the distinctively tart and floral Mathieu Teisseire Hibiscus syrup.
