During our inauguration evening which took place on Sunday, February 20th, the theatre of the Plaza Brussels hotel was decked out in its most festive and warmest colors to welcome the 50 guests invited to share this unique event.
Two large and beautiful tables had been set up at the foot of the stage, several hundred glasses well aligned, a multitude of ingredients prepared, the bottles carefully placed in a sublime Golden Palm trunk of the Malfred house.



Paul and Sergio, former world champion bartenders, had a mission, to create a new unique cocktail, from the choices of all 50 guests!
To make the LB cocktail!

The selection criteria were:
1. Choose the glass (Champagne / Old Fashioned / Martini)
2. Select the 1st base (Gin / Rum / Vodka)
3. Add a main fruit (Passion / Pineapple / Lemon)
4. A touch of liqueur (Strawberry Liqueur / Bitter Orange)
5. The last note (Tangy / Fruity / Floral)

What a wonderful achievement!
This cocktail is absolutely splendid, fruity flavor, complex and perfectly realized by our bartenders, this cocktail will be proposed very soon at the bar of the Esterel (bar of the hotel Plaza brussels) in exclusiveness during a few months, then proposed in all the most beautiful cocktail bars of the hotels of the capital! Here is the recipe, copyright obliges, we released the rights for this magnificent cocktail that we encourage you to share with moderation by going to the Plaza, but also to make yourself at your next festive evening at home!
