London Cocktail Week 2018 - Mr Fogg's

Talisker cocktails at Mr Fogg’s

Apparently it’s London Cocktail Week, so what more of an excuse do you need to pop out for a cheeky drink? And to make it even easier, here’s a few suggestions of some slightly quirky ways to celebrate.  Cheers!

Enjoy a Sojourn in Skye with Mr Fogg

When: 3rd October 2018
Where: Mr Fogg’s Residence, 15 Bruton Lane, London W1J 6JD
£: RSVP
What is it?
Head to Mr Fogg’s Residence, as Phileas Fogg joins forces with Talisker for a night filled with Highland hurrah style celebrations.  Guests are invited to celebrate the Isle of Skye in the comfort of Mr Fogg’s humble Mayfair abode, with a bespoke whisky menu featuring curated cocktails, live Ceilidh music, bagpipers and a selection of moorish Scottish delicacies.
License to Ceilidh will entertain with traditional Ceilidh music, as well as contemporary hits performed with a Scottish twist.  Guests can sip cocktails such as ‘To the Lighthouse’, a light refreshment taking inspiration from the crystal clear pools of the River Brittle, with Talisker whisky, Scottish heather tea, wild nettle cordial, rhubarb and apple juice, aquavit, and lime juice.
