Cocktail Tasting and Indian Extravaganza

It’s a hard life in PR land …. On Wednesday I had a meeting at Est Est Et Albert Dock with Paul Knowles and Cathy Webster from Gregory Abrams Davidson LLP, where our main objective was to choose 3 cocktails for the Gregory Abrams Davidson staff summer party which they are holding at Est on the Dock.

Well having ruled out a few that we thought did not quite fit the bill for the party, we finally came up with a stylish Cosmopolitan for the ladies, a signature Basil Grande, and a summer favourite Mojito… It really is a tough job having to taste cocktails (but someone has to do it and it might as well be me).

The party is a summertime thank you to staff for their loyalty and support and I really do think that more organisations would benefit if they showed their employees the same level of TLC.

A couple of glasses of wine, and thirty minutes of cocktail tasting later, I wondered up to the opening party of Majur, a fabulous new Indian Restaurant in Duke Street, which specialises in ‘healthy’ Indian options.

A great night, superbly organised by Joel Jellen and his team at Ubiquity (or if you want to wind him up – call it Iquibiquity –but don’t tell him I said that!). A great crowd, fabulous atmosphere, stylish venue and I am sure it will do very well!
