There where passion meets up with expertise, Tanja Engel’s artistry comes alive behind the bar at Sixtyfour°: a blend of boldness and creativity

Born in Germany, Tanja Engel has embodied the soul of the Sixtyfour° for almost 20 years. A unique tale that began in 2007 when she joined the Sofitel Luxembourg Europe after several experiences in England and France. Here, she soon discovered a stimulating environment encouraging her to express her creativity. At the bar, the cocktail list reflects the duo she forms with mixologist Alex: a discerning mixture of styles and savours. Together they concoct unique recipes designed for each type of alcohol, to tempt all kinds of palates. Their creations include “Peach me up”, a subtle blend of whiskey and peach liqueur with lemon, mint and maple syrup, and the widely appreciated “Bordeaux”, an audacious combination of dark rum, lime, caramel, cranberry and red wine. These two cocktails are perfect illustrations of the duo’s creative spirit and the diversity of proposals at Sixtyfour°. As part of her unlimited creativity, Tanja sometimes likes to reinvent dishes as cocktails: “I have already retweaked tomato salad with watermelon and mint to make a Margarita.” She also enjoys conjuring up non-alcoholic proposals. “At Sixtyfour°, we propose a number of our cocktails in nonalcoholic versions, as they are increasingly sought after, especially those based on champagne that we make with French Bloom.” It is, however, hard to choose the creation of which she is proudest as, for her, they are “those which set smiles on clients’ faces”.
