The Old Vic
Signature cocktail: Hugo Spritz Margarita
The week in brief
25 St Andrews bars and restaurants took part, and every one poured a signature cocktail made for the week. Vodka was the most used spirit, in 9 of the signature cocktails. 24 venues also made a signature mocktail.
After the week we asked wristband holders which bars they loved most. The Old Vic, The Saint and Rogue came out on top.
