Sometimes the worlds collide and two people not only find each other but also speak the same language. The language that Charles Roche and Eleanor Holcroft speak is cocktail creation.
Charles and Eleanor who, from the depths of their underground kitchen, have concocted Jam Doughnut Negronis, Chicken Dumpling Martinis, and Cookie Dough Old Fashioneds and that’s just the beginning. Their bar consultancy company, Liquid Intellect, has created cocktails and menus for brands and bars all over the world.
