History

The British Bacardí Legacy 2018 winning cocktail, by Leon Back of Panda and Sons in Edinburgh, Scotland.

The Queen Street Cocktail is, firstly, a tribute to the street where I work. This street in Edinburgh, which is world-renowned, is where many generations of industry greats have established themselves, enabling them to leave their mark within the industry.

"The Queen Street Cocktail also represents three principals that I went through to become the bartender that I am today: education, collaboration and innovation. Following these principles allowed me to grow as a bartender and they can be applied across all aspects of this industry.
Leon Back, 2018

Review

Daiquiri-like, delicately sour and, helped by the garnish, wonderfully aromatic.

An enigmatic drink, in the best possible way. We went with cane syrup and pulled it back to 15ml. Likewise the celery bitters, we dialled down to two dashes...maybe one might have been enough...perhaps it's just us but a little bit of celery bitters goes a long, long way.

btw if anyone can explain the spritz garnish we'd be grateful. We just added to the mix a gentle dash of peated Islay.

I know this response is quite a bit late, but I use a small atomizer spray bottle for the spritz (I keep these bottles on hand for absinthe, Laphroaig and orange blossom water).
