For me, 2008 was the year I re-discovered the love for cocktails and it seems my ‘appreciation’ only grows as we wave goodbye to January 2009. Cocktails aren’t easy on the waistline or the wallet but they do feel like a little bit of luxury and glamour - perfect after a long, stressful day - and I’ve had a few of those recently. In fact, I think alcohol, bar snacks and canapes have actually made up a third of my daily diet over the past few weeks.
I was then, very happy to be invited to the Smirnoff Winter Ice Lounge, to sample some vodka based creations. The lounge was an annexe of Canary Wharf’s Plateau bar, transformed into a wintry city play garden, with the help of giant snowflakes, fake fur, glittering faberge eggs and twinkling candles. The reason for our visit was to sample Smirnoff’s new ‘black’, small batch vodka, which is intended to rival the ‘Stoli’ (Stolichnaya) brand.
