For most #meetingplanners high and low tables are referred to as cocktail rounds. However, not all cocktail rounds are created equal - high and low tables can have different diameters (although 30” is most standard).

Whisky Live Paris
Our latest blog, Mark and Andy Gray discuss their observations from Whisky Live Paris.
With hundreds of whisky, rum, gin, tequila and sake on display, stand-out is everything.
Brands need to be super clear who they are, and what they stand for before they think about turning up at these events. In a room full of competitors, familiar clichés just don’t cut it.

Luxury never takes a day off
Some luxury brands struggled to hit the level of quality we’ve come to expect of them. Premium brands are expected to be premium everywhere they go.
-
Bring your brand to life
The stands that bowled us away had considered the brand and the visitor experience. They’d created interactive spaces full of opportunities to surprise and delight, and to ‘land’ their brand idea and personality. Those that fell short had relegated their stands to glorified billboards.

A simple idea with excellent execution is amazing. There were too many misplaced efforts at simplicity on display. If you’re going to do simple in a premium category – you must make sure it doesn’t look cheap.

The Legacy of Master Yuzo Komai (2)
Following my post about the artistry of Yuzo Komai at Bar Centifolia, let’s delve deeper into what sets this master bartender apart.
Komai-san’s work transcends bartending, it’s a living expression of Japanese tradition and creativity. Beyond crafting exceptional cocktails, he immerses guests in a sensory journey that blends taste, aesthetics, and cultural storytelling.
At Bar Centifolia:
Cultural Fusion: Komai-san weaves ikebana, calligraphy, and martial arts-inspired movements into his craft, creating an atmosphere that honors Japanese heritage.
Attention to Detail: The use of over 100 antique glasses adds history and depth to each drink, turning a simple cocktail into a piece of art.
Memorable Experiences: From the spectacle of blue flames to the precision of hand-carved ice, his performances elevate mixology to theater.
One of the most profound aspects of Komai-san’s legacy is his ability to leave a lasting impression. It’s not just about the drink; it’s about the emotion, the story, and the artistry behind it.
Next time you raise a glass, think about the craft and intention that went into its creation. Have you ever been inspired by a bartender’s dedication to their art? Let’s share and celebrate those moments.
