SYNOPSIS
Behind every great cocktail bar is a vast network of people. Andy Ferreira of Cask dives into how closer relationships with farmers markets, producers, and suppliers can reshape the way we source, create, and serve cocktails, resulting in more meaningful menus, stronger communities, and a more resilient bar industry.
Andy will also discuss the inspiration behind 'Tasty Anarchy', Casks latest cocktail menu. Each drink was developed in collaboration with the wonderful producers, growers, distillers, foragers and craftspeople that shape Irish landscape, resulting in a menu that is rich in story and deeply connected to place. More than a list of cocktails, Tasty Anarchy is a living expression of Cask’s ethos; thoughtful, expressive and constantly evolving.
