Le Lion is a small but perfectly formed cocktail bar in Hamburg, Germany, which opened in late 2007 and has since gone to worldwide acclaim winning “Best New Cocktail Bar” at the 2008 Tales of the Cocktail Spirits Awards. Join owner Jörg Meyer at Le Lion for a Gin-Basil Smash, a simple but elegant drink that became the summer sensation of 2008 around the bars of Germany, and beyond.

Stay tuned for future episodes coming soon, where we take a look at Le Bon Lion, Le Lion’s tiny private sister-bar, learn about the beginings of the Traveling Mixologists, and enjoy some more great cocktails made by the Le Lion team.
