DISCARDED SPIRITS CO. IS TAKING THE WORLD’S MOST RUBBISH BAR TO SCOTLAND!
Pioneers of the sustainable spirits movement, Discarded Spirits Co. are taking the World’s Most Rubbish Bar to Edinburgh with the immersive experiential event set to prove that sustainability does not mean sacrifice. The brainchild of the zero-waste spirits brand, the bar is built on the Discarded Circular Cocktail Economy – with bar waste from local venues being used to create the drinks on offer. From unwanted coffee grounds to flat sparkling wine – all sourced from bars and coffee shops – these ingredients will be given a delicious new purpose. Two of the world’s leading bars will also be on hand, transforming ‘waste’ into exquisite sustainable cocktails featuring the three delicious zero-waste spirits from the Discarded Spirits Co. From Banana Peel Rum, to Sweet Cascara Vermouth made from the husks of coffee cherries, to Grape Skin Vodka made from the waste leftover from wine production, these spirits give a second life to waste ingredients whilst creating an experience that’s both premium and purposeful. The World’s Most Rubbish Bar’s messaging resonates as new research shows sustainable living is starting to spill over into consumers’ alcohol consumption – with 34% saying they would choose a more sustainable option from a bar menu – equivalent to 14 million people. In fact, over half (53%) would like bars to offer more sustainable drinking options and 39% would order a zero-waste cocktail if they could. Calum Fraser Discarded Spirits Co. ambassador said: “By being more resourceful we can unlock undiscovered flavours, whilst creatively reusing ingredients that would otherwise be discarded. The World’s Most Rubbish Bar is the perfect way to show ecoconscious consumers how waste, taste and purpose beautifully collide.” To secure your place at The World’s Most Rubbish Bar, simply feature a sustainable cocktail on menu which includes Discarded Grape Skin Vodka for six weeks.
