Celebrity Cruises is set to expand its onboard cocktail programme after partnering with artisanal cocktail developers Hawthorn Beverage Group, founded by Josh Durr.
The 30 new craft cocktails blend vintage-style liqueurs with fresh ingredients, organic juices and artisanal spirits, and complement Celebrity’s popular Molecular and Martini Bars. A selection of non-alcoholic cocktails will also be introduced.
In addition, Celebrity will offer an assortment of wine by the glass and extend its current list of international beer selections to include a variety of types including pale ales, Belgian ales and premium lagers.
“Together with Josh Durr and the highly skilled mixologists at Hawthorn, we worked to create flavour profiles that vacationers will thoroughly enjoy, while also focusing on the details, quality of ingredients, and craftsmanship,” said Celebrity’s manager of beverage development Chanelle Duarte. “Through our creative guidance and the methodical specifications of Josh and his team, Celebrity is ‘stirring up’ an authentic, trend-forward craft cocktail bar experience for its guests.”
Celebrity will implement the craft cocktail programme across its fleet by the end of 2013.
