The Cocktail Lovers A new season, new products and a new bar
We're back with season 9 and over the next few weeks we’ll be talking to some of the fabulous people we’ve met up with during our recent travels but this episode begins, as always with our chosen products: the first of which is Be-Gin a gin celebrating all things flowers and the second, a new range from Cointreau which zones in on citrus.
Our book is spiritual wisdom, seasonality and locality personified, it’s Hyper Drinks, the debut book from Angelos Bafas aka Mr Ungarnished, and we head to Shoreditch for Waltz, the new bar from Gento Torigata.
For our first interview of the season we’re talking to Rodrigo Urraca, Marcos Di Battista and Eric Van Beek, the dream team behind Handshake Speakeasy in Mexico City, recently taking the top slot on North America’s 50 Best Bars List for the second consecutive year and currently number one in the world. We hear from them about the highs and lows of being number one and why they won't have their awards on the back bar.
What we're mixing:
Grand Mimosa
90ml sparkling wine
45ml orange juice
15ml Grand Marnier
Orange zest or slice to garnish
Method: Add 45ml of sparkling wine to a chilled wine glass, the add the fresh orange juice and Grand Marnier. Gently 'pull through', then top with the remains 45ml of sparkling wine. Garnish with the orange garnish or zest.
