THE LOFT LAUNCHES 4 COURSE COCKTAIL MATCHING MENU
September 2009: The Loft is launching a new Cocktail Matching menu in preparation for Christmas 09. The menu, which was devised by renowned mixologist and owner Andy Campana and Head Chef Marianne Wit, is a contemporary twist on traditional wine tasting menus and is designed to show that complementing flavours are not strictly limited to food or drink exclusively, and that the cross over between the two can often serve as interesting and enriching to the dining experience as a whole. The 4 course cocktail matching menu also aims to challenge preconceptions about conventional cocktail ingredients. Having been at the forefront of creative bartending in the UK for the past few years, Campana notably eschews the recent trend of rediscovering classics in favour of creating new recipes and pushing mixological boundaries. Finding certain cocktails to clash with savoury flavours, Campana has experimented with ingredients such as asparagus, lavender, cardamom, thyme, lemongrass and garden peas: these flavours are just as likely to be found within the accompanying cocktails as the food itself.
