Magical mixology

On 21 May, about 40 actuaries and their friends headed to Sway Bar in Holborn to test their mixing skills in SIAS's magical mixology masterclass.

Following a welcome drink of Prosecco, the group took it in turns to pour, shake, mix, stir, squeeze (and in some cases fumble) their way in making their cocktail of choice.

There were strong, weak, odd-looking, and some particularly disgusting cocktails, but for the most part, we were a talented (and quite drunk) bunch. Despite some people deeming it cheating, we did enjoy some great food platters mid-way through to help line our stomachs. For those who had made some questionable drinks, there were also pre-made pitchers and tequila shots on offer instead, to make sure everyone had a good time. Many thanks to all those who came to the Sway Bar for such an enjoyable evening.
