COCKTAIL CLASSICS – UPSIDE DOWN

At the same but different bar at this year's ProWein, cocktail classics are being turned upside down! Some of the most creative bartenders in Germany will be serving innovative versions of their favourite drinks. The playful exploration of iconic recipes from the history of cocktails results in a fascinating array:

on the one hand, surprising twists that add new nuances to the classics through elegant variations and, on the other hand, unusual interpretations that primarily conceptually relate to the original recipe. The basic idea: today's avant-garde is tomorrow's classic.

Hall 7.0 / C59

Every day at 1 and 3 p.m., our bartenders will explain the ideas behind their drinks and reveal the details about their everyday work.
