The Cocktail Lovers was founded in London in 2014 by Elise Rosenbrand and Robert Sobecki — she a former journalist, he a bartender — who believed that cocktail culture deserved the same editorial depth and visual beauty that food culture had been enjoying for years. The magazine launched at a moment when London's bar scene was undergoing a creative renaissance, and The Cocktail Lovers positioned itself as the publication that could document that renaissance with both insider knowledge and outsider curiosity.
Each quarterly issue features bartender profiles, spirit guides, recipe features, and reportage from the world's most interesting bars, presented with photography that captures the colour, texture, and atmosphere of a well-made drink in a well-designed space. The writing is knowledgeable and enthusiastic, equally comfortable explaining the chemistry of a clarified milk punch and telling the story of a neighbourhood bar that has become an anchor for its community. The production values are high — glossy paper, generous photography, design that reflects the craft of its subject.
Beyond the magazine, The Cocktail Lovers has built a broader platform that includes events, collaborations with spirit brands, and a growing presence at cocktail festivals across Europe. For anyone who believes that the art of mixing drinks is one of the most creative and culturally rich corners of the hospitality world, and who wants that world covered with intelligence, beauty, and genuine enthusiasm, this is the magazine that has been doing it from London since 2014.
