In Lecce, it’s not just the autumn breeze bringing something new. On October 29th, the ancient stones of the Chiostro dei Domenicani will echo with the sound of glasses clinking as Coqtail – for fine drinkers unveils its second issue in collaboration with Quantobasta.
Pages That Tell a Fashionable Story
Pages infused with aromas, where stories are blended like the ingredients in a perfect cocktail: this is Coqtail – for fine drinkers, a coffee table book that’s way more than just a magazine. With 152 bilingual pages, the quarterly publication is a sensory journey through the best of mixology, sparkling wines, and both Italian and international hospitality.
Chiara Degl’Innocenti and Penelope Vaglini, the creative minds behind the project, have dedicated this new issue to all things “fashionable.” But what exactly makes a cocktail, a bar, or an experience trendy? The answer is hidden within the pages, where the stories of those who obsess over crafting the perfect balance between aesthetics and flavor come to life. And for those eager to dive in right away, the magazine is available for purchase online at coqtailforfinedrinkers.com, in both print and digital versions.
An Evening at Chiostro dei Domenicani
The Chiostro dei Domenicani, with its 10,000 square meters of history and design, is all set to host an evening dedicated to cocktails and good music. Starting at 6:30 PM on October 29th, the team from Quantobasta cocktail bar in Lecce will present a drink list that pays homage to creativity and the history of the location, featuring products from partners Mancino Vermouth, Lucano 1894, Cordusio Aperitivo, The London No.1, and Bobby’s Dry Gin. To top it off, Chef Donato Episcopo from Gimmi restaurant will offer some gourmet pairings for the guests.
A Journey Through Italy’s Drinking Culture
The Lecce event is just the latest stop on a tour that has seen Coqtail travel across Italy like a river of flavors and stories. From Milan to Florence, Venice to Turin, and even down to the island of Ischia and the Amalfi Coast, the magazine has brought its refined vision of the world of mixology to some of Italy’s most stunning locations. Unique occasions where cocktails are the bridge to meeting, having fun, and networking.
Chiostro dei Domenicani: Where History Meets the Future of Drinking
Choosing Chiostro dei Domenicani as the venue wasn’t just a coincidence for Coqtail. This place, where centuries layer like the components of a well-crafted drink, is the perfect stage for an event that celebrates the fusion of past and present.
Here, amidst 15th-century frescoes and contemporary design, event guests will experience something that goes beyond simply sipping a drink. The October 29th event is a must for anyone who loves exploring the boundaries of flavor. It’s a chance to dive into a world where every detail matters, where every sip tells a story, and where the art of fine drinking blends seamlessly with the timeless beauty of one of Southern Italy’s most enchanting cities.
