The Cambridge Public House, the award-winning Parisian neighbourhood cocktail bar, is proud to unveil Shaken Leaf, an online platform designed to empower bartenders worldwide with sustainable practices and resources.

Since opening, community and sustainability has been at the heart of everything the team does. This initiative stems from the team’s commitment to fostering a more eco-conscious hospitality industry and follows the bar’s recent B Corp certification.

Shaken Leaf is a collaborative, open-source platform that makes sustainable bartending practices accessible and easy to implement. Born out of The Cambridge Community Plan in 2023, the project serves as a hub for knowledge-sharing and actionable solutions tailored to the bar industry.

The platform provides practical tips, real-life case studies, and expert interviews to help bar teams implement sustainable practices in their venues. Focuses include reducing waste, sourcing eco-friendly ingredients, optimising resources, and integrating sustainability into daily operations. One feature of the website is a cocktail database, documenting an arsenal of cocktail recipes, garnishes, and mixers, each with a sustainability score and the ability to filter based on ingredients, dietary requirements, and eco-friendly metrics.

Visitors to the website can also discover information regarding The Cambridge’s monumental achievement of becoming the world’s first B-Corp certified bar, as well as read their ESG (Environmental, Social, & Governance) report from 2023 (the 2024 report will be available soon). The report highlights The Cambridge’s advancements toward sustainability goals, including significant steps in reducing carbon footprint.

Hyacinthe Lescoet and Hugo Gallou, co-founders of The Cambridge Public House, say of the initiative:

As a team, we’ve always believed in supporting our community and leading positive change. Shaken Leaf is our way of sharing the knowledge we’ve gained and inspiring a new wave of eco-friendly bartending practices. We can’t wait to see the impact this has on our community, and we’re excited to continue helping those in the industry.
