i. Biography
Cocktail work at Kwãnt in London is built as much before service as at the pass. In Eric Lorincz’s role as mixologist there, the drink is treated as a constructed object: spirit, citrus, sweetness, and garnish are only part of the frame. The bar program draws on in-house production, cutting-edge cocktail techniques, and a working larder of ingredients chosen for texture, color, aroma, and controlled change. Modern mixology at this level depends on ingredients that carry process, not decoration. Lacto-fermented purple carrot and roasted buckwheat cordial point to that method: acidity shaped through fermentation, roasted notes brought into balance, and unfamiliar flavors made usable inside a drink. In Lorincz’s work at Kwãnt, those elements sit inside the discipline of the bar rather than outside it.
Coming Up
The present role is stated simply: Eric Lorincz is a bartender. In trade terms, that wording cuts away the surplus. The claim rests on the act itself: making drinks, reading the guest, and holding the counter with precision. Bartending remains a craft of balance, clarity, timing, and restraint. Titles and trends can crowd the field, but the work still resolves at the point where glass, maker, and guest meet. Lorincz’s current identity keeps that focus on execution rather than explanation.
Where They Are Now
At Kwãnt, the bar work is both individual and collective. Lorincz works as a bartender and mixologist with a team making in-house cocktails, where preparation before service carries as much weight as the final build. Components are made, held, and brought together with control when ordered. Green Point shows that approach in a compact form. The Kryptonite-coloured cocktail is made with Copperhead gin, Fallen Pony quince spirit, and spirulina. Copperhead gin gives the drink its spirit base, Fallen Pony quince spirit adds fruit definition, and spirulina gives the visual signature. The result is a drink that registers immediately by color while staying within the architecture of a serious bar program.
Signature
Eric's signature dishes include Green Point. Within the Kwãnt register, Green Point is a modern cocktail built from distinct components rather than a loose visual idea. Its Kryptonite-coloured appearance is part of the identity, but the work is in bringing Copperhead gin, Fallen Pony quince spirit, and spirulina into one composed drink.
Honors
Award receipts are not part of this dossier. The honors recorded here are role-based: former Savoy bartender and head bartender at the American Bar at The Savoy. Those posts remain useful trade markers, connecting Lorincz’s current work at Kwãnt with the exacting standards and service discipline associated with that London bar setting.
