The Botanist cocktail program, led by Creative Beverage Director, Grant Sceney<\/strong> and Botanist Bar Head Bartender, Jeff Savage<\/strong>, follows the principles of botany, which was developed to reflect and celebrate the biodiversity of the Northwest, with ingredients and flavour profiles that uniquely tell a story. Along with a list of handcrafted cocktails that change with the season, the bar team has developed a spirit-free program that is as artfully designed as it is balanced and sophisticated.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s incredible\u00a0to receive\u00a0an award of excellence, but the reality is, it means nothing without the team behind\u00a0you, working to achieve the same goal.” Says Grant Sceney, Creative Beverage Director, Fairmont Pacific Rim<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Botanist\"<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an immense honour to receive such a special award for doing what we love to do every day.”\u00a0Says Jeff Savage, Head Bartender, Botanist. <\/strong>\u201cMaking not only cocktails, but experiences for our guests is something very near and dear to our hearts. I want to extend a massive thank you to our entire team, and I want to particularly thank our guests who continue to sit at our bar and grant us the ability to do what we love to do\u201d<\/p>\n

The MICHELIN Guide is a benchmark in gastronomy, which has recognized Botanist\u2019s ongoing commitment to excellence of the craft, pristine service and an unparalleled guest experience.<\/p>\n
