Carpet the Room
Red wine, crème de cassis, vanilla & velvet foam — the small intervention that transforms everything
Andrew has a particular fascination with carpeting venues to cover hotel ballroom floors
Why this cocktail? Andrew transforms rooms by carpeting ugly floors. This velvety wine cocktail is that small, powerful intervention.
The Story
One of Andrew's signature moves: carpeting an entire ballroom floor. Hotel patterns designed for durability kill atmosphere. One material decision transforms the room. This red wine cocktail with crème de cassis and velvet foam captures that philosophy: a rich, textured drink where the foam — smooth, luxurious, unexpected — covers everything beneath it. Vanilla for the warmth of a room that suddenly feels intentional.
