ZOOman comes to the Black Dog Ballroom
-
ZOOman, aka Luke Jones from ZOO magazine, popped into the Ballroom last Friday as we became day nine of his 30 day ZOOman Has September campaign.
Luke set himself the challenge of trying 30 different challenges in 30 days. Each task must be something that he has never done before and it is all in a good cause as Luke raises money for Cancer Research.
So far he has eaten a whole banana with the skin on, learnt to be a Jedi and made everyone in his building a brew!
The Black Dog Ballroom challenge wasn’t the hardest most terrifying of tasks – in fact it was a damn good laugh and extremely educational. Radio’s Stu Baillie taught Luke how to make three classic cocktails; the Mojito, the Cosmopolitan and the ultimate man’s drink (Stu’s words not mine), the Manhattan.
Luke did super well and his drinks were pretty good. The best thing about the whole experience was that day 10 was a workout with the fourth fittest woman in the world so we hope he didn’t feel too hungover the next day…
If you fancy learning how to make a great cocktail you can book a cocktail masterclass on our website. Check out the video above to see what it is all about.
Also special thanks to Colm at the Park Inn Manchester who helped out with a hotel room for Luke during his stay.
Have you invented the next modern classic cocktail?
