Purple Bar launches its Cocktail Collection
Elegant and refined, the Purple Bar is the bar of the Hôtel du Collectionneur in the heart of Paris’s 8th arrondissement.
In a 1930s décor of gold leaf fluting and intimate alcoves, Wen, Thomas and Adrien, 3 young, creative and passionate mixologists, imagine new combinations of flavors to create the most beautiful of cocktail menus.
Each month, they will propose a new recipe, part of a “Cocktail Collection” that will be enriched throughout the year.
At the end of the year, a surprise will be reserved for loyal customers who have tasted all the cocktails in the collection…
A cocktail to discover from September 1st, in the intimacy of the Purple Bar or on its large terrace, between high tables, armchairs and sofas.
