Live Webchat: Ben Reed, 3pm Monday, 20 June

Don’t miss your chance to stay ahead of the game this summer by taking part in a live web chat with mixologist and cocktail expert Ben Reed.

Reed, in association with First Drinks, will be online from 3pm on Monday, 20 June,  to answer your questions, which you can submit in advance here .

Summer in full swing means the height of the social season – weddings, balls, corporate events and any reason for the British public to have fun in the sun.

Yet with all the competition out there, it’s important to stay one step ahead and make sure your bar stands out from the rest.

The answer is to ensure you have top-notch recipes, and with some expert advice from First Drinks, blending the finest ingredients together for a sensational summer vibe will be easy.

Try a twist on tradition with the Cointreaupolitan, the Amarula Frozen Springbok and a Disaronno Cranberry Cooler to keep your customers chilled as the temperature rises.

So send Ben your questions, watch the live show and see how a few tiny touches can make all the difference to your bar offering this summer.
