At Close Shave, Let Your Favourite Hairstyles Decide Your Drink

The new speakeasy cocktail bar by Sultans of Shave offers classic cocktails inspired by iconic hairdos, from dreadlocks to the mohawk and the buzzcut.

You’ve discovered your favourite cocktail through your zodiac sign, but have you considered choosing one based on your hairstyle? Close Shave, the new speakeasy cocktail bar by bespoke barber brand Sultans of Shave, believes that a preferred coif is an expression of one’s personality and inner self, and has distilled the essence of iconic hairdos into ten specially-curated concoctions. These “Styles” range from the full-headed locs of Bob Marley, to the number zero buzzcut of fresh recruits, to the stylish bob and mohawk of Posh and Becks, each with their own distinct flavour profile and presentation.

Check out some of the ‘do-inspired drinks below, and head over to the barbershop next door for a fresh cut to match your new favourite cocktail.
