Behind The Mastermix Bar stands the Cocktail Oracle — Francis, consultant of spirits and libations. Tell him the occasion; he divines the menu, the flow, and the pour your night was always meant to have.
A glimpse of how the Oracle reads a room — balance first, theatre second, nothing poured that hasn't earned its place. Your event receives its own reading, divined the same way.
— and none of these will be on your menu, because yours has not been divined yet. —
Name the occasion, and receive a first reading — the serve the night is already leaning toward.
One Oracle, one standard — whether he's behind the bar at your event, initiating your team, divining a restaurant's list, or engraving the vessel it's poured into.
A full bar experience brought to your room — product launches and galas, weddings and birthdays. Francis designs the menu to the occasion, pours it with showmanship, and leaves your guests talking.
Hands-on mixology, taught properly. Team-building masterclasses for businesses, and small-group classes for anyone who wants to make better drinks at home — from first shake to confident host.
A drinks list is half the meal. Francis builds cocktail programs that pair with your kitchen — flavours that lift each course, costed to pour profitably, and trained into your staff so they land every time.
The finishing touch — coupes, decanters, jiggers, and gift sets engraved to order. For a couple, a company, or a bar that wants its own mark. Each piece made bespoke, and quietly registered as the original.
The Oracle starts with the occasion, the guests, the room, and the feeling you're after — never a stock package.
He divines the menu, the flow, and the details, then shares a clear plan and quote to approve.
On the day, everything is handled — arrival, setup, service, showmanship, and a clean finish.
Guests leave with a drink they'll ask about for weeks — and you with a partner for the next one.
The smoke and the show mean nothing if the drink underneath isn't right. Every serve is built on balance first; the theatre is the garnish.
No stock menus, no borrowed lists. Your event, your restaurant, your gift — each gets a composition that couldn't belong to anyone else.
The zero-proof drinker and the whisky obsessive get the same care, the same glassware, the same thought. Nobody holds a lesser glass.
Francis is the Cocktail Oracle — the consultant of spirits and libations behind The Mastermix Bar. He treats a cocktail the way a chef treats a plate — balance, technique, a little theatre — and he's spent years reading rooms and divining drinks for them, from tight corporate launches to loose garden parties.
Today the practice spans four consultations: pouring at your event, initiating others into the craft, divining the lists restaurants pour every night, and engraving the vessels worth pouring into. Different rooms, one obsession — the well-made drink.
The seal opposite is the Oracle's personal mark — carried on every menu he divines.
Every divination begins with a consultation, not a checkout. Share a few details and the Oracle replies with a reading and a quote — usually within a day.
Francis will reply personally, usually within a day.
