Tanqueray No. TEN has announced a season of bartender residencies worldwide, which will offer a window into exceptional cocktails.
The launch of Tanqueray No. TEN residencies kicked off with a hospitality experience sketched by Tanqueray No. TEN global brand partner Stanley Tucci and Director of Mixology Ago Perrone at The Connaught Bar in London. Serving as an invitation to immerse themselves in the craftsmanship of cocktail makers worldwide, Tanqueray No. TEN's residencies are where lovers of cocktail culture can witness their artistry unfold to 'Make it a TEN'.
The residencies feature top bartending talent, known as the Tastemakers of Tanqueray No. TEN, which includes Ago Perrone from The Connaught Bar, Giulia Cuccurullo from The Artesian, Keila Urzaiz de Calignon and Yoann Tarditi from Satan's Whiskers, Matteo Di Ienno, leading cocktail and botanical expert from Italy, Oisin Kelly from The Sidecar at The Westbury Hotel, Andy Ferreria from Cask in Cork, Emily Doherty from The Merchant Hotel Cocktail Bar in Northern Ireland, award-winning independent bartender Tiffanie Barriere from the USA, and more.
These leading bartenders put Tanqueray No. TEN at the pinnacle of cocktail culture around the world. As Tanqueray No. TEN's cocktail celebration season spreads worldwide, and cocktail hubs across cities will ignite with activity. Bartenders have become immersed in the creative artistry behind the bar as Tanqueray No. TEN draws aficionados into the living notebooks of these tastemakers and shines a light on their creative processes while honouring the craft of bartending with partnerships born from a shared love of cocktail artistry.
The inaugural residency will delve into the friendship and dialogue between two of Tanqueray's esteemed tastemakers, Ago Perrone and Stanley Tucci, who collaborated to create a bespoke experience at The Connaught Bar. The two first met when Tucci attended a "guest shift" at The Connaught Bar where he learned expert techniques from the 'master of the martini', and took his at-home cocktail ventures to the next level. Tucci shared his inspiration for the experience, expressed in the form of thoughtful sketches, celebrating the botanical artisanship of Tanqueray No. TEN, which was then developed into a bespoke cocktail creation by Ago.
"Cocktail making is a unique craft, that welcomes curious and inventive minds to push the boundaries of flavour and hospitality. I'm delighted to partner with Tanqueray No. TEN to celebrate bartenders as the true artists that they are, with cocktail residencies across the world. The new bottle is a beautiful homage to the brand's heritage, craft and longstanding place in the world of bartending," said Tucci.
With the arrival of the new Tanqueray No. TEN bottle in the U.S. this summer, Tanqueray will curate experiences in partnership with Tiffanie Barriere that invite the trade community and spirits enthusiasts into the vibrant and emerging world of gin.
