Aidan Bowie pops up in New York

27 July, 2016

Aidan Bowie, Diageo Reserve’s GB World Class Bartender of the Year 2016, has partnered with Llama Inn in Williamsburg, NYC to open a World Class pop up bar on August 3.

Diageo Reserve says Bowie will give the Big Apple an exclusive taste - for just one evening, of London’s award-winning Dandelyan bar, where he has been a senior bartender since it opened in October 2014.

Four bespoke serves will be created by Bowie, using Don Julio Blanco, Tanqueray No.Ten, Bulleit and Ron Zacapa, paired to Llama Inn’s Peruvian food.

Bowie said: “I am so excited to have been given the opportunity to partner with Llama Inn for this exclusive one-night pop up. Since the GB World Class final, I have been doing everything I can to prepare for September’s global final in Miami, including a pretty intense boot camp for all winners from Western Europe.

“As I was on-route across the pond for Tales of the Cocktail anyway, it was the perfect opportunity to explore cocktail culture and drinking trends in this amazing market – and search out inspiration for my World Class global final serves and challenges,” said Bowie.
