Cocktail created and styled by the teams from The White Hart, Café Sydney, Goldfish (Sydney) and Hugo’s Bar Pizza. Shot on location at The White Hart.

This month’s Cocktail Experiment turned out to be such a massive hit we had to redesign the magazine section to fit in everyone that wanted to participate! When it comes to Tequila, there’s certainly a buzz in the air at the moment with bartenders and consumers alike demanding more and more of the icon category.

When I put the challenge to Quynh Van Nguyen (The White Hart) he was more than enthusiastic about getting together a troupe of Sydney’s finest bartenders to mix up some cocktail creations and see who could come out on top!

With seven spirits to accommodate, we had to reach far and wide to fill the room this month, and it couldn’t have been achieved, firstly without Quynh’s help, but also the time and effort of the other experiment members.

Thanks for your time and effort guys – and great job with the drinks!
