LOS ANGELES (April 30, 2019) – Rustic, elegant and sophisticated, The Wellesbourne launches the next phase of its cocktail program. Showcasing rare spirits and imaginative recipes, The Wellesbourne cocktail roster itself with evocative ingredients ranging from pasilla pepper syrup to habanero to rose water.

The English provincial-inspired bar’s evolving cocktail program comprises a curated collection of recipes featuring the exclusive Orbium, the new specialty quinine gin from Hendrick’s Gin. This spirit presents notes of fresh herbs, lotus blossom and wormwood and is distilled in extremely small batches and will only be available for a limited time.

The highlight of the new program is the “Bartender Featured Drink” collection with individual recipes from each mixologist behind the bar. This menu is for guests with a sophisticated palate or those who want to venture outside of their cocktail comfort zone and try the mixologists’ current favorite concoctions.

In addition to the bartenders’ curated cocktails, guests can also leave their cocktail creation up to the professionals with the “Dealers Choice” menu. With this personalized cocktail experience, guests select their spirit and flavor profile and the mixologist will craft a one-of-a-kind beverage… just for them.

For more traditional drinkers, “The Liquor Cabinet” menu showcases timeless classics guests know and love. “We created this cocktail collection not only to pay homage to The Wellie’s vintage roots, but also add a modern take with recipes that are elegant and full-bodied and exclusive to The Wellesbourne,” says Benny Jasso, general manager, The Wellesbourne.
