Last Thursday the brand-spanking-new gin, Beefeater 24, sponsored Thursday Drink Night in the Mixoloseum and threw the icing on the cake with a fantastic live event at the Quarter Bar in Brooklyn. What a blast! TDN regulars Rick Stutz of Kaiser Penguin, Nathan (oysterschnapps), and Michael Dietsch of A Dash of Bitters were all there, in addition to Meaghan Dorman from Spirit Me Away, Alia Akkam from Bev Media, brand ambassador Dan Warner and Dave Wondrich. That’s right folks, we pulled out the big guns!
And they didn’t disappoint. Online, a seemingly endless list of wonderful new Beefeater 24 cocktails streamed in, and in person, Dan Warner and Dave Wondrich served them up for us all! Aren’t we so lucky? Here were a few of my favorites from the night:
B24 Fresh by Tiare Olsen
2 oz. Beefeater 24
1 oz. Aperol
½ oz. Lime Juice
½ oz. Simple Syrup
¼ oz. Grapefruit Juice
Fill with tonic
Shake, strain over crushed ice, and garnish with a lime spiral.
Ginger Bushel by Matt Robold
3 oz. Beefeater 24
1 oz. Ginger Liqueur
¼ oz. Apfelkorn
2 dash orange bitters
Stir with ice, strain, and serve in a cocktail glass with a lemon twist.
24 Hour Party People by Sylvan Thompson
2 oz. Beefeater 24
¾ oz. 2:1 Ceylon Cinnamon Syrup
¾ oz. lemon juice
2 dash of cardamom bitters (boker’s or hess)
Shake, strain, and serve up.
For the full list you can check out Mixoloseum’s twitter feed. And head over to the Mixoloseum blog to get their take on the event! And for cryin’ out loud if you haven’t already, get yourself a bottle of Beefeater 24 asap and make a few of these cocktails. Cheers!

Beefeater24 is such a cool brand. Here in London they are part hosts of the new exhibition called Super Contemporary at the London Design Museum. Had a quick look at the event via http://www.supercontemporary.co.uk/?s=ticket-giveaway and it looks pretty good. Hope to go soon.
