For one weekend, cocktail elites from six major cities traded their home bases for the glittering avenues of Macau.<\/p>\n

On March 13 and 14, top bartenders from New York, London, Bangkok, Singapore, New Delhi and Jakarta converged for the second edition of Wing Lei Bar & Friends at the Wynn Palace hotel in Macau. The programme featured guest shifts over two nights hosted by Wing Lei Bar\u2019s own head bartender, Mark Lloyd.<\/p>\n

A panel discussion took place on the second day titled \u201cThe Death or Rebirth of the Classic Cocktail\u201d. Moderated by Lloyd, it featured Ben Yabrow of Sip & Guzzle (New York), Shashank Rana of No Vacancy (New Delhi), Fransiska Putri of Modernhaus (Jakarta) and Jack Sotti from Archive & Myth (London).<\/p>\n

Each shared their thoughts on the evolution of the craft in their respective cities, the perils of over-complication and the responsibility of senior bartenders to pass the torch.<\/p>\n

Is the classic cocktail a sacred blueprint or a launching pad? The panel quickly reached a consensus: classics sit at the core of the industry\u2019s foundation, but they can easily be done wrong.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
