OUR PINNACLE OF ACHIEVEMENT! šŸ¹

Over our 20 years, GO Kombucha has been served in Michelin-starred restaurants, 5-star hotels and some of Londonā€™s most exclusive membersā€™ clubs (so exclusive Iā€™d be shot if I told you which ones!).

Besides winning @Guildoffinefood Great Taste Award for each of our 7 varieties, our proudest achievement came in 2012 when the exclusive @langham_london asked if we would be interested in collaborating with world class mixologist @alex_kratena

Back then Alex was travelling the world making cocktails for the world's most prestigious bars, and today runs the successful @tayer_elementary in London's Old Street.

Alex would create two successful cocktails using our China White as the base ingredient for @artesianbarlondon at The Langham - winner of the Worldā€™s Best Bar award 4 years running (2012-15):

ā€¢ In 2013, the bestselling ā€˜Camouflageā€™, which Alex called his signature drink; a concoction of Tanqueray No. Ten, Americano, carrot, China White kombucha and sandalwood in a golden pineapple, and;

ā€¢ in 2014, ā€˜Fast Money Comes At A Dangerous Priceā€™; a combination of Johnnie Walker Gold, chamomile, vetiver, sandalwood and China White kombucha served in a bento box with a scattering of pebbles.

That our humble, if perennial, China White featured in two cocktails by the world's leading mixologist on the menu of the Artesian during the period when it was ā€˜World's Best Barā€™ 4 years running is a pinnacle of achievement our little brand is unlikely to top - but Iā€™d love to be proved wrong! šŸ’Æ
