A private five-course cocktail tasting built around the classic Paper Plane. The experience begins with the original cocktail, before moving through four original interpretations, each exploring a completely different flavour profile — from fruity and earthy, to smoky and burnt, rich and nutty, and fresh and floral. Throughout the evening, I’ll guide you through the cocktails, sharing the ingredients, techniques, flavour combinations and ideas behind each creation. The experience can be as interactive or relaxed as you’d like, whether you want to dive into the details or simply sit back and enjoy the drinks. I’ll bring everything needed for the tasting, including ingredients, equipment, garnishes and printed menus, and will clean the space thoroughly once the experience is finished. A cocktail experience designed for people who want more than just a drink — five cocktails, five different interpretations, and the story behind each one.

Hi my name is Fred, im half irish and half swedish and food and drink have been a passion of mine from a very young age. I’ve always loved creating in the kitchen, from cooking and baking to experimenting with cocktails and drinks. I love bringing different flavours, techniques and ideas together to create food and experiences that people genuinely enjoy. There’s always something new to learn, and that’s what keeps me excited about what I do.

What you'll do

After Booking

Once your evening is booked, I’ll get in touch personally to discuss the experience. We’ll go over your guests, any allergies or dietary requirements, and anything else I should know before the evening. From there, we’ll finalise the details and make sure everything is ready for your tasting menu.

Upon Arrival

I’ll arrive and set up my station, which usually takes around 20–30 minutes. Once everyone has arrived, I’ll introduce the tasting menu and explain the idea behind the project — starting with the original Paper Plane, before exploring four different interpretations of it. I’ll talk you through the inspiration behind each cocktail and the flavours I wanted to explore. While doing so, I’ll prepare the original Paper Plane, giving you a reference point for the four cocktails that follow.

During the Tasting

The evening consists of five cocktails, beginning with the original Paper Plane and followed by four completely different interpretations. Each cocktail explores a different direction — from berry and earthy flavours, to mezcal, orange and burnt flavours, a nutty and sweet amaretto cocktail, and a floral, elderflower-led drink. Throughout the tasting, I’ll explain the ingredients, flavour combinations, techniques and ideas behind each cocktail, as well as why certain ingredients and pairings work together. I’m happy to go as deep into the process as you’d like. If you’d rather simply enjoy your drinks, I’ll keep the explanations short and let the cocktails speak for themselves.

After Tasting

Once the tasting is finished, I’ll clean and reset the space, leaving everything as clean — or cleaner — than I found it. Any remaining cocktails, snacks and printed menus are yours to keep, giving you a little something to continue enjoying after the experience.

Fantastic dinner! Everything exceeded our expectations. The naan was perfectly cooked, the rice was delicious, and the presentation was beautiful. The stew was full of flavour, and we left feeling so full and satisfied. You’re a star, Fred! ❤️
