VIB Events teamed up with Tigris to provide event staffing support for a Lot 40 Sampling, running eight consecutive dates, in four cities in October & November. There was two events staff requested per shift to set up, mix up Old Fashions, pour samples, deliver key messaging and promote Lot 40 Whisky.
The Recipe:
- 2oz. Lot 40
- 0.5oz Simple syrup
- 4 dashes of bitters & an orange twist
- Build cocktail in a Lot 40 mixing glass
- Stir for 15 seconds & strain through Hawthorne strainer into 2 sample cups with ice & garnish with an orange twist
Guests were eager to try the product. Below are a few testimonials:
- “This is surprisingly smooth!”
- “How much are the bottles? I might have to pick some of this up!”
- “I’ve always wanted to try an Old Fashioned, glad I get to now!”
- “These are delicious, and I’m usually not a whiskey drinker!”
- “Lot 40 is my favourite, I have a couple bottles at home. Never made it into Old Fashioned though, so I’m happy to have another way to enjoy my favourite whiskey”.
