Malmaison
Signature cocktail: Glinda the Good Witch
Malmaison made to feel really welcome and cocktail looked very good and care taken making it
The week in brief
32 Dundee bars and restaurants took part, and every one poured a signature cocktail made for the week. Vodka was the most used spirit, in 15 of the signature cocktails. 27 venues also made a signature mocktail.
After the week we asked wristband holders which bars they loved most. Malmaison, Temple Lane and The West House came out on top.
