Golden Brown – Wins Best Cocktail in the Dublin Cocktail Festival

There is no doubt that this years Dublin Cocktail Festival was a success and we have seen some amazing creations from some of the best cocktail venues in Dublin, my only complaint is that a week was too short, next year I feel we should have it last 2 weeks. This year, Golden Brown from Diep Le Shaker was the Winning Cocktail  for the 2014 Dublin Cocktail Festival. The festival was organised by Great Irish Beverages and the winning cocktail was voted for by Dublin’s cocktail sippers! Other venues who participated were 777, The Marker hotel, Fade Street Social, Vintage Cocktail Club, Saba and many more…

The autumnal cocktail The Golden Brown was conceived by one of Diep Le Shaker’s managers and top cocktail architect Cian Lynch using Teeling Whiskey Company’s small batch whiskey as the main ingredient. Along with this top class whiskey other ingredients include pear cognac, cinnamon, clove syrup and almond foam.

Diep Le Shaker can now proudly claim that is has the winning cocktail in town. Great Irish Beverages also awarded a prize of €1,275. Cian will indeed be celebrating!
