This week we’re heading north of the border to creative cocktail soul Liam Grogan, mixing up some magic from his place called Flùr, a neighbourhood shop and bar found in the beating heart of Glasgow’s West End, Partick.
Having worked behind the stick in some of Glasgow’s best cocktail venues as well as time spent working in the bar scene in Australia, Liam set up Flùr to unearth and give light to some spectacular drink producers and to showcase creative serves that allow the liquid to shine. They specialise in a rotating list of seasonal cocktails and serves, low-intervention wines and drinking with a difference.
With Gin Day just around the corner on the 12th June, here’s a fantastic serve from Liam showcasing one of the world’s best gins from Sweden – Hernö Old Tom.
