Number 11 Cocktail by Agostiono Perrone and Giorgio Bargiani from The Connaught Bar
The ‘Number 11’ features the bar’s own gin which is created and bottled in house, vodka, Amalfi lemon oil, wine distillate and all five bitters (cardamom, tonka, ginseng and bergamot, lavender and coriander seeds).
This cocktail is served with a hand cut half diamond rock of ice, in a stunning coup. Each coup has been hand painted by the bar team with five colours to represent the five bitters used.
This painterly effect and the name of the drink are inspired by Jackson Pollock who used to number his masterpieces.
