Sustainable cocktails were at the heart of this collaboration with Sapling Spirits. We love it when great people come together and the collaboration between Sprout, a playful West London bar celebrating seasonal, local produce through imaginative, homemade-ingredient cocktails and Below Stairs, winner of the Class Bar Awards Sustainable Practices Award 2025 was a beautiful sight to behold.
Invited to work together in partnership with Sapling Spirits, a fast growing, climate-positive British brand championing reforestation, circular packaging, and regeneratively farmed ingredients the bars came together to create an exciting menu of bespoke cocktails just for the event.
Winner of the Best Cocktail Award, Below Stairs Bar created “Licking The Spoon”. A recipe including Sapling Raspberry + Hibiscus Vodka, Mochi Cream Soda, ‘Baked Bread’ + Coconut Whey, Golden Maple
Sapling brand co-owner Ed Faulkner, Below Stairs bar owner Mannie Manachain, and Sprout Bar Manager Dominic Royle also took to the Tasting Stage to share their experiences of building sustainable businesses within the hospitality industry — and how creativity can flourish through constraint
A winning combination of great drinks, great people and a great celebration of sustainable practises from all the companies involved. Look out for our collection of exciting collaborations in 2026.
