The Agrum Collection by Schweppes.

Schweppes worked with celebrated mixologist Mike Enright to create two speciality cocktails for the recent fashion show that Schweppes presented with Toni Maticevski at the IVY Ballroom in Sydney. The Blood Orange Cosmopolitan featured Babicka and a combination of Agrum Blood Orange and Cranberry Juice served in a Boston glass, While the Schweppes Passion Punch was based on the White Grape and Passionfruit flavour, with a mix of pureed fruit, a hint of vanilla and poured over crushed ice in a high ball glass.

GREAT CONCEPT

Here’s an interesting take on the bar scene - MiniBar, a new establishment in Amsterdam, looks to take the wait out of bar socializing with a self serve deal. Whether there is a control to check on intoxication of the patrons is another issue, but damn, this is Amsterdam. How does it work you ask? “Customers leave a passport or driver’s license with a staff member and are given an ice bucket and a key to their bar. The numbered mini fridges fill an entire wall, and vary in size and content—guests can choose from beer bars, champagne bars and mixed bars. Like anold-fashioned food automat, the mini bars are stocked from the back, making for easy restocking and out-of-sight logistics.” (springwise)
