Rémy Martin has been chosen as the drink of choice at the GQ magazine`s annual awards ceremony this 3rd September 2013 and will be serving up some fantastic Cognac cocktails. The iconic cognac will be serving the R&G (Rémy & Ginger) and other bespoke cocktails at the main awards ceremony and will also be creating a bespoke bar at the after-party on the Royal Opera House balcony.
As well as the R&G, Rémy mixologists have developed a bespoke cocktail for the night: the R&GQ. The R&GQ builds on the classic pairing of ginger and Rémy VSOP, which is mixed with British Ale and served in a traditional 1Ž2 pint tankard, complete with a frothy head.
