The Cocktail Trading Company

Alexandra Kalinowski, filling in for Chris while he is tied up in the USA and Europe, recently had a great experience at The Cocktail Trading Co. She enjoyed their cocktail menu and found her job to be quite glamorous as she frequently goes out to drink with bartenders for her gin bar blog series. With her extensive experience, she has developed a keen sense for how bars operate. Of all the bars she has visited, The Cocktail Trading Co. stands out as one of her favorites.

If you're looking for a great place to enjoy some cocktails, I have some fantastic recommendations for you. This week, the annual Cocktails in the City event will be taking place at One Mayfair from Thursday 10th to Saturday 12th March. This event will feature 20 world-famous bars serving up delicious cocktails in a stunning four-storey building, complete with a rooftop BBQ. You can try a variety of different drinks and visit multiple bars without even leaving the building! There will be live music, masterclasses, and even a liquid nitrogen bar. Tickets are priced at £15 and include a complimentary cocktail. If you want to try more cocktails (and who wouldn't?),...

This trendy cocktail bar is located in a prime central location (just a stone's throw from Oxford Circus). The cocktails are creative and beautifully crafted, the ambiance is intimate, and the staff is exceptionally friendly. I would highly recommend it to anyone in the area seeking a casual spot for drinks. It may be a bit tricky to find, as it is situated in the basement of another bar, but it is well worth the search.

Drink presentations were very nice, barkeepers were really nice and they explained the drinks well. the taste was not as amazing as they would expect.

My first taste of Aperol happened in Venice, extremely appropriate given Aperol’s Italian heritage. Topped with soda and gazing out on Venice’s intricate, windy cobbled streets, this bright drink has the power to transport me right back. View from the Grand Canal. I’ve always viewed this as a bit of a summer drink though and Aperol are on a mission to change that and make Aperol a year-round tipple and so they’ve invited us to the Cocktail Trading Co to get a crash course in how to make this drink and show us just how easy drinking it is year round.
