Together in Spirit!

Reaching out to everyone pushing on through another month, we’ve been constantly blown away by the creativity and positivity we’ve seen from our clients, media and our community. Adapting and turning this situation into something productive and beneficial for those who are really suffering has been inspiring. You guys rock!

Here’s a snap-shot of what amazing things Domino clients have been up to:

This Cinco de Mayo saw BrewDog Distilling Co. launch their new LoneWolf Cactus & Lime gin; made in the wild frontiers of Aberdeen and loaded with lime and topped with press cactus juice and Queen of the Night – an elusive fragrant cactus flower that only appears after dark. An oasis of flavour with waves of watermelon and lychee notes, met with a strong juniper backbone.

The launch was made even more exciting (if possible) with the BrewDog Open Arms Virtual bar, with tasty cocktails from drinks expert at BrewDog Distilling Co. Jono Mayes and a special cactus taco cook-a-long with Eduardo Gomez of MexGrocer

Corte Vetusto mezcal launched The Cut Above Challenge, as a way to support the industry, whose support for this small, independent brand, has been a vital part to its success. Inviting UK bartenders to flex their skills and create a Corte Vetusto mezcal cocktail inspired by the good times when bartender’s creations flowed freely in busy bars. We’ve already seen some truly outstanding creations and cannot wait to find out the winner!

Fernet Branca saw some truly spectacular entries in the Fernet Branca 2020 Coin Competition, with voting for the top 12 designs now open – check out the link here and vote for your favourite design!  #BitterIsBetter

Finally, a shout out two iconic moments that certainly lifted our spirits...

The ever-charming Stanley Tucci providing us with a Negroni masterclass, albeit not quite the perfect serve, addictive viewing none the less.

Three icons of cinema and theatre Meryl Streep, Christine Baranski and Audra McDonald gracing us with a rendition of ‘The Ladies Who Lunch’ whilst in white bath robes and enjoying some delicious Martinis! FYI Meryl Streep + bath robe + Martini = forever iconic 🍸

Thanks again to our NHS and key workers!

Stay safe, we will be together again for a cocktail soon X

Keep on, keeping on!

In these unprecedented times, we’ve been really inspired and (got a bit emotional) seeing how people have rooted together to support each other in the hospitality industry and beyond. We hope everyone is staying safe, keeping well, and let’s do our best to get through this!

BrewDog Distilling Co. has switched up production at the distillery to produce much needed hand sanitiser, for the NHS, local hospitals and charities, seeing over 100,000 bottles donated so far. An outstanding effort I'm sure you’ll agree!

Keeping the spirit of pubs alive (this is the UK after all) and rallying up people’s morale, BrewDog opened its virtual doors last Friday, inviting everyone to share a BrewDog pint or LoneWolf G&T, join tastings and pub quizzes at the BrewDog Online Bar from the comfort of their own home. This will continue every Friday night with drink tastings, pub quizzes and typical BrewDog banter.

Supporting the hospitality industry, Camille Vidal from La Maison Wellness took part on The Booze Brain with a wellness check, is teaching yoga classes for Hospo Live every Monday at 8.30am, and is launching her Mindful Happy Hour live sessions on Instagram every Friday at 5pm. She’s a much needed voice of positivity at this point in time.  Never more so have mindful cocktails and healthy hedonist inspiration been so relevant, take a look the La Maison Wellness social channels for all her amazing updates.

Staying positive and keeping people’s spirits up, The Four Sisters bar will be delivering 4 of their signature cocktails to East London locals, with delicious varieties including a Chamomile Gimlet, Fig Palmetto and Tea Old Fashioned. Follow their Instagram for more details.

Fernet Branca is launching the Fernet Branca Coin Challenge, in support of the bartending community, of which they pride themselves of being a strong part of. Celebrating family, community and the creative flair of bartending, winners will receive a multitude of much-needed cash prizes as well as a reason to flex their artistic side whilst bars are closed.

We want to extend our gratitude to the NHS and key workers for keeping us safe and normalising the situation as best they can.

Stay Home, Play Dominoes ;)
