The Georgia Bar
Rosewood Hotel Georgia

A Crafted Ode to History

The Vision

I designed the cocktail program for The Georgia Bar as a "libation journey" through the heritage of Vancouver's most iconic hotel. The concept, titled A Crafted Ode, serves as a tribute to the luminaries and legends that have defined these storied halls since the 1920s.

The Design & Narrative

My work focused on balancing high-volume operational efficiency with a deeply rooted sense of place. Every signature cocktail was developed to tell a specific piece of the hotel's history:

Historical Icons: Created the Patricia (honouring HRH Edward, Prince of Wales) and Mr. Hospitality (a tribute to founding manager J.A. Weldon).

Architectural Tribute: Developed the R.T.G., utilising Macallan 12-Year to honour the original architect, Robert T. Garrow.

Local Legend: Designed The Herrick, a refined vodka and tea-based cocktail celebrating the hotel’s legendary long-time shoe shiner.

High-Standard Execution

Heritage Signatures: Reimagined the world-renowned Hotel Georgia cocktail (est. 1950s) to maintain its status as an internationally acclaimed signature.

Regional Craft: Integrated local British Columbia ingredients into the B.C. 75, spotlighting regional gin, honey, and sparkling wine.

Spirits Curation: Curated an extensive library of premium spirits, including rare Scotches, Agaves, and a dedicated Cognac digestif program.
