Winter Cocktails in Line Athens

In this food photography for Oinochoos magazine, the guests star Christos Klouvatos welcomes us to Line Athens bar and makes some wonderful cocktails with cognac, the spirit that is making a comeback as a base in classic and signature cocktails.
Christos is a bartender and connoisseur of good coffee, with numerous awards at international events. He recently placed fourth in the Coffee in Good Spirits Championship, a global competition focused on liquor and coffee, representing the Taf company, and is also a finalist in the World Class 2023. This season we find him behind the bar of Line, No 12 at World's Best Bars. He also oversees the cocktails and coffee at the Makris restaurant and, as a member of the Line team, also collaborates with the Delta Restaurant.

Grande Bretagne Magazine Cover

In the imposing Alexander's Bar voted as the Best Hotel Bar in the world by Forbes magazine, the choice of drinks will impress even the most demanding connoisseur. The bar offers a wide range of unique spirits, skilled bartenders and friendly waitresses, while the rare 18th century handmade tapestry that hangs above the bar depicts Alexander the Greats entrance into Gavgamila, and is one of the oldest trademark items in the Hotel.
I took this portrait photograph of the bartender in front of the magnificent handmade backround of the bar. More magazine covers..
