“Ben Reed is British and demented and not necessarily in that order. He is also one of the UK’s most charismatic and munificent bartenders, you should see this man shake a cocktail!”
There is glamour, sophistication and a real buzz around the cocktail lifestyle. From old school cocktail lounges to edgy urban hang-out bars, it’s an exciting world of impeccably made drinks, cutting edge design and genuine, un-manufactured atmosphere.
It’s also a world full of characters and Ben Reed has been at the heart of it for over 20 years. A masterclass, workshop or team building event with Ben Reed provides VIP access to the eclectic, progressive and stimulating world of a Global Cocktail Ambassador. Combining his world-renowned passion for the ‘art of the cocktail’ with a ‘behind-the-bar-scenes’ insight into the global cocktail lifestyle; he brings this intriguing and sometimes, deviant world to life through anecdotes and stories about the real characters that he meets on his travels on both sides of the bar.
