Henley Bridge The Magic of Christmas 2020

Shake things up
Create a stir with clever cocktails
By Nick Robinson, Owner, Incognito Cocktail, Prosecco & Gin Parlour
Cocktail making is a form of theatre and
it’s all about captivating your audience.
The mixologist takes centre stage,
working his magic with the ingredients to
the delight of the crowd.
With consumers focusing ever more on
luxury and indulgence in the post-Covid
era, we spoke to Nick Robinson, owner of
Incognito Cocktail Bars and Henley Bridge
customer about his experiences.
“When I first decided to launch the
Incognito group of cocktail bars, my vision
was to create a fully immersive multi
sensual cocktail experience where you are
entertained with theatre and creativity, the
likes that have never been seen before.
“Our first venue opened in Winchester and
has gone on to win a lot of awards.
“Decades of experience has gone into
creating our cocktails and the aim is that
they will transport our customers to
another reality - perhaps a journey back
to their childhood with nostalgic flavours
of rhubarb and custard, or to a far flung
tropical beach with enticing aromas of a
tropical paradise.
“I believe that mixologists are artists,
creating a unique recipe from an infinite
number of available ingredients that all
come together to form a balanced cocktail
that dances in your mouth and make you sit
back and go ‘wow’.
“Our infinite purpose is to challenge the
status quo and we’re constantly striving
to innovate and push ourselves to find
new and more creative ways to play with
people’s perceptions.
“Since our inception, we’ve always worked
closely with Henley Bridge, drawing on their
knowledge and expertise. Their huge range
of molecular ingredients offers so many
exciting opportunities and as we expand
and grow, we can’t wait to see how far
we can push the boundaries of traditional
mixology.”
