Cocktails halen inspiratie uit kinderliteratuur

The Blind Pig is een bar in de hippe Soho-buurt in Londen die een wel heel creatieve draai geeft aan zijn cocktails. Je vindt er namelijk alcoholische drankjes die geïnspireerd zijn door klassieke kinderliteratuur, van Harry Potter tot Winnie de Poeh.

Zo verkopen ze de Half a Pint o'Buttah, een cocktail die 10,5 pond kost (zo'n 12 euro) en zijn inspiratie haalt uit het boterbier in de ‘Harry Potter'-boeken. The Blind Pig is gekend voor zijn innovatieve en steeds veranderende cocktail-menu. Dit laatste is alweer een schot in de roos.
