Grey Goose vodka has announced the launch of House Pour, a new global video series featuring out-of-work bartenders from around the globe making cocktails that are close to their hearts.
House Pour is designed to lend a voice to bartenders who have been impacted by Covid-19 closures, and help shine a light on the individuals who make this industry so special, as well as offer them paid work during a time when bars and restaurants remain closed.
Each video, posted on Grey Goose’s social channels, will feature a swipe-up link to donate to three charities who are supporting bartenders during the current pandemic. This includes the United States Bartender Guild, Tales of the Cocktail Foundation and Another Round, Another Rally.
The video will conclude with the bartender making a toast to someone in the industry who has positively impacted them.
The series kicked off on Friday 8 May, featuring NYC-based bartender A-K Hada of Existing Conditions, with subsequent episodes featuring bartenders from locations ranging from the UK and Italy, to Toronto and France.
