Award-winning mixologist, Robyn Wilkie, has been appointed as the new bar manager at Liquorette – the venue located on Rathbone Place, London, that is looking to break down the traditional barriers around cocktail creation, offering a bar, off-license, cocktail deli and fresh cocktail delivery service.
Joining to head up the team at Liquorette, New Yorker Wilkie, brings with her nearly 10 years’ experience in the bar industry both in the UK and the US. Her previous roles include Head Bartender at The London Edition Hotel as well as Fare London, The Curtain and London Cocktail Club where she first began her career. She has also worked with a number of restaurants owned by Michelin star chef, Jason Atherton, including Pollen Street Social, The Blind Pig and Sosharu.
During her career, Wilkie has collected a number of accolades showcasing her innovation and excellence in the industry. In 2018 she secured a place as one of the 10 Diageo World Class GB 2018 finalists, she won the Gin Mare global finals in 2016, as well the Harvey’s Sherry global competition in 2015.
Commenting on the appointment Maggie Rouder, Hospitality Brand Manager at Liquorette said, “Robyn is extremely well-respected in the industry and brings a lot of relevant experience to our brand. We are a relatively new concept in London and are already putting ourselves on the map in terms of offering an exceptional and accessible cocktail experience – with Robyn at the forefront, this will continue to grow.”
Liquorette opened its doors for the first time in 2018 and has fast become a hot spot for cocktail-lovers. From popular New York import the ‘Cha-Chunker’ served at the bar and All Star Classic cocktails on tap, to the take-away cocktail deli and fresh cocktail delivery service, Liquorette offers the complete experience. For those looking to step up their own skills, Liquorette also hosts ‘Be Your Own Bartender’ masterclasses, led by Wilkie and her team.
