Ritas
Signature cocktail: Coastal Soirée
The week in brief
34 Belfast bars and restaurants took part, and every one poured a signature cocktail made for the week. Gin was the most used spirit, in 11 of the signature cocktails. Every venue also made a signature mocktail.
After the week we asked wristband holders which bars they loved most. Ritas, Muriel’s Cafe Bar & Pablos and Malmaison came out on top.
