Cocktail Bar of the Year


The Balmoral Bar Edinburgh


Despite its location in one of Edinburgh’s most exclusive hotels, The Balmoral Bar has gone to great efforts to make its proposition approachable to customers. Drawing inspiration from Michelin Star restaurants, the bar now offers a Cocktail Tasting Menu that provides customers with four cocktail ‘courses’, each containing seasonal ingredients. The seasonal theme continues on the main cocktail list, which offers original creations as well as fresh twists on classic cocktails.


The Finnieston Glasgow


Since opening in September 2011 The Finnieston has built an enviable reputation for cocktails, among both locals and cocktail afi cionados. Product knowledge and training is a key focus of the venue, with a combination of in-house sessions and regular visits from brand ambassadors ensuring that all staff, from glass collector to bar manager, are at the top of their game when it comes to drinks.
