Classic Cocktails: The Power of Modifiers

Join Alex Moncrieff (Such and Such) and Lucy Mannix (Volstead Repeal/Rizla) at Such and Such on the 12th of April from 4pm.

Discover how small changes can transform a cocktail. In this interactive tasting, we’ll explore classic cocktails both with and without modifiers to reveal the dramatic impact these ingredients have on balance, aroma, and flavour.

Using elements such as herbal liqueurs, bitters, saline solutions, tinctures, and both sweet and dry vermouth, we’ll demonstrate how bartenders fine-tune drinks to create depth and complexity. Guests will taste side-by-side variations while learning how each modifier alters structure, sweetness, bitterness, and texture.

Perfect for any level of knowledge, this session offers a deeper understanding of how the subtle details turn a good drink into a great one.
