It’s cocktails o’clock in east London with the launch of the new CTC location on Brick Lane.

CTC Brick Laneis the latest project from Andy Mil, Olly Brading and Elliot Ball, the team behind CTC Smithfield and Bristol’s Her Majesty’s Secret Service.

Featuring a 400 strong back bar, CTC Brick Lane will be the brand’s permanent flagship with a focus on unusual and rare spirits from around the world. An in-house distillery will also be in place, allowing the creative bar team to produce their own bespoke spirits.

Alongside the brand’s trademark cocktails, CTC Brick Lane will also feature their very own bar school. The Cocktail Training School will specialise in both residential and commercial training for drink enthusiasts and professionals. The team at CTC will also be offering an on-the-job bar school for aspiring bartenders looking to learn the tricks of the trade.

Like the sound of that? Here’s a exclusive peep at the cocktail list:

  • APairOTeef – Pisco, cardamom-pear infusion, white balsamic and sparkling wine.

A simple refreshing zinger, served as if it were a water glass holding Nan’s teeth.

  • Bonsai Butterfly – Jasmin Martin Miller’s Gin, St Germain, Fig Lime Cordial, Champagne 

Floral, zesty, zen. 

  • Rum Forrest Rum – Aged Colombian rum, chinotto wine and tobacco & rose essence.
