The Greatest G&T s in London Tatler CHOOSE TO INFUSE Our 50-strong cocktail list is a selection of our signature cocktails, curated by our Chief Booze Engineer Mr P. J. Hobbs.

We don t deliver the same old, same old when it comes to drinks menus. The Camm & Hooper way is all about innovation and personalisation.

Taking a few of our favourite spirit brands, they imbue them with herbs, spices and fresh fruit in the booze lab to create some truly special drinks.

It doesn t always go to plan but for every cloud, there s a silver lining.

8 The Greatest G&T s in London Tatler CHOOSE TO INFUSE Our 50-strong cocktail list is a selection of our signature cocktails, curated by our Chief Booze Engineer Mr P. J. Hobbs. His masterful way with flavours involves infusing spirits with herbs, spices and fresh fruits to create drinks that guests will love. We don t deliver the same old, same old when it comes to drinks menus. The Camm & Hooper way is all about innovation and personalisation. Never ones to follow the crowd, our Chief Booze Engineer, Patrick Hobbs and the team choose to infuse. Taking a few of our favourite spirit brands, they imbue them with herbs, spices and fresh fruit in the booze lab to create some truly special drinks. From the booze lab, our creations have been inspired by everything from childhood visits to the sweet shop, to dancing in the streets at Notting Hill Carnival. It doesn t always go to plan but for every cloud, there s a silver lining. While toying with Johnnie Walker Black, sugar, butter and bitters to create toffee scotch, we accidentally burnt the sugar. But our meddling had actually added a delicious depth to the recipe, and so our Burnt Toffee Scotch Old Fashioned was born. Never the afterthought, our drinks are the centrepiece of a Camm & Hooper event. Our clients can pick their favourite unique concoction to create superb cocktails, mixers or simply serve over ice at their event. 14 GET IN TOUCH TO FIND OUT MORE /
