The third annual London Baijiu Cocktail Week is set to start this Friday and run from February 5 through February 14 to celebrate the incoming Year of the Monkey. The ten-day project is sponsored by Diageo, which includes baijiu brand Shui Jing Fang in its portfolio, and has nine partners:
- 68 and Boston
- Bó Drake
- China Tang at The Dorchester
- Demon, Wise & Partners
- Hutong at The Shard
- Nam Long
- Opium
- Ping Pong (8 venues)
- The Hide
Not surprisingly, bars went bananas with their cocktail names, including Dizzy Monkey (Ping Pong), Darling Monkey Nutter (The Hide) and 600th Monkey (Demon, Wise & Partners). The Dragon’s Claw at Bok Drake look intriguing with its Shui Jing Feng, agave nectar, elderflower, lemon juice, lime juice and hopped grapefruit bitters. You can see all the cocktail ingredients here.
