Cocktails in a class of their own
San Carlo Group’s Fumo bar and restaurant in Birmingham offers a range of more than 50 cocktails – including ‘quirky creations’ and ‘twists on classics’.
The cicchetti restaurant in Waterloo Street has a stunning, sweeping marble bar with a team of professional mixologists who have developed the extensive list using leading brands of spirits, liqueurs, Champagne and sparkling wines.
Experienced bar-staff are also able to make bespoke drinks based on preferred personal taste.
We asked Fumo’s General Manager and mixologist Anthony Trueman to create some sweet and dessert inspired cocktails …
Eton Mess
This traditional ‘old school’ dessert has inspired a sumptuous cocktail full of strawberries, cream and crushed meringue. A delicious and luxurious taste of Summer.
