    The world in our glasses

    In this episode we're taking our tastebuds on a journey that goes from London via Latin America, Kentucky to England and various stops in between.  We start with Never Say Die, a whiskey distilled in Kentucky, then shipped to England for its final maturation. We then head to Sweden for a taste of Bex Almqvist's fresh take in a traditional Nordic spirit, Rejmyre Akvavit. This week’s read is a must for anyone who wants to know anything about the history of American drinks, it’s the incredible Imbibe! From Absinthe cocktail to whiskey smash, a salute in stories and drinks to Professor Jerry Thomas, Pioneer of the American Bar by David Wondrich. That’s north America’s drinks history sorted, in west London the team at Viajante87 celebrate the flavours, tastes and traditions of Latin America in their new menu Cocktail + Culture.  Then we’re in New York where we catch up with this week’s guest, the much travelled vision in pink and violet that is ms. franky marshall.

    Martinis in the mix

    It wasn't planned, but Martinis pop up a few times in this episode. Not in our product reviews, which feature Planteray Cut and Dry Coconut Rum and Tito's Handmade Vodka (although, come to think of it, the latter would make a fab base if vodka-based Martinis are your thing). As the title suggests, they're front of centre of our featured book 'The Martini – The Ultimate Guide to a Cocktail Icon' by Alice Lascelles; then they pop up in fine style in our bar review at one of the oldest restaurants in London – Rules, as well as in this week's Cocktail Hack with Simon Ford. With more than 20 years experience in the drinks industry under her belt, it's fair to say that this week's guest Charlotte Voisey knows her way around a Martini. But rather than that, we're talking to her about her brand new, exciting role as Executive Director of the Tales of the Cocktail Foundation. Tune in to find out more. For more from The Cocktail Lovers, visit thecocktaillovers.com For the products featured in this episode, see websites below: What we're mixing: Split-base Sazerac 10ml absinthe rinse 30ml cognac 30ml rye whiskey 10ml sugar syrup 4 dashes Peychaud’s Bitters 1 dash Angostura Aromatic Bitters 10ml Absinthe rinse Method: Chill an old Fashioned glass, then swirl with absinthe to coat.

    Challenging perceptions: non-alcs, menus & books

    Appearance, aroma, flavour – the enjoyment of great drinks works on many levels – driven by aesthetics or emotions. Behind them, though, is often a great deal of deep and demanding thinking. This episode celebrates this thinking. We have two products which take on the difficult task of creating delicious non-alcoholic drinks: the complex Crossip Blazing Pineapple and, the delicious ready-to- drink Jasmine and Lily Highball created in partnership with the bright minds at Tayer + Everleaf. Then there's our book choice… This week we're taking a deep dive into the many and varied thought processes that go into becoming a great bartender, via the tome that is The Cocktail Balance 2.0, by Stanislav Harcinik. Our bar choice takes us to The Rivoli Bar at The Ritz where they unveil their first new concept cocktail menu in the history of the bar, it's the playful yet thought-provoking 'Biodynamic Forces Through The Alchemy of Planets and Plants' Then we catch up with Ben MacFarland and Tom Sandham to chat to them about bringing the stories behind drinks to life in their award-winning comedy shows, where they go by the aptly named The Thinking Drinkers. For the products featured in this episode, see websites below: What we're mixing: Adonis 45ml fino sherry 45ml sweet vermouth 4 dashes orange bitters Orange zest (discarded) Method: Combine all ingredients in a mixing jar, add ice, and stir until well chilled. Strain into a cocktail or wine glass. Aromatise with a spritz of orange oils from orange zest, then discard.

    It's beginning to taste a lot like Christmas…

    We're less than a week away from Christmas Day and we don't know about you but we're definitely in the festive mood. While this episode won’t see us going into full eggnog and sleigh-bell sound effects mode, we're certainly offering a nod in the Christmas direction. Our book choice is one that we always rely on for the season – it’s How To Drink At Christmas from Victoria Moore. As for our product choices, we’d be incredibly happy to unwrap either of these bottles: Bellamie Cherry Liqueur Aperitif, and Aultmore Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky Cask Finish Collection. Our bar choice is a modern classic at any time of the year but particularly comes into it own for a cosy winter drink or two, it’s Satan’s Whiskers in East London. Finally, our guest shares her profound knowledge of all things agave, gives some excellent gifting suggestions and tells us the tequila she’d like to find in her stocking this year – it's the wonderful Gaby Moncada.
