Plans for giant cocktail the size of a house
Plans to make a huge cocktail so big you can row a boat across it, have been revealed. Organisers say that in December, they will make an "architectural scale" drink at 33 Portland Place in London.
Inspired by admiral Edward Russell - who in 1694 created a punchbowl so large that it took 2,500 lemons and was served by a small boy in a boat - Bompas & Parr want to take it one step further.
They are now asking for people with good cognac-based cocktail recipes, to suggest what else the building should be filled with.
The resulting cocktail will be so big you can row across it in boat, but we can imagine a few people throwing themselves overboard and coming back up drunk.
Harry Parr of Bompas & Parr said: "The technical challenges of turning a building into cocktails are manifold. I’ve had to use all my architectural skills."
The Architectural Punchbowl will raise money for architectural charity Article 25, a charity dedicated to providing building expertise to aid agencies, NGOs and communities wherever there is disaster, poverty or need.
