It’s beginning to look a lot like Autumn here in London but there’s still plenty of reasons to keep our spirits lifted on the cocktail front. Starting with the bases for our drinks… We’re keeping things juniper-charged in this episode, with two very different gins: one from Atlas in Singapore, the other, a cask-aged gin from the team at Renais.
As for our book, we're clinging on to summer with this week’s pick, it's 'Tropical Standard – Cocktail Techniques and Reinvented Recipes' by Garret Richard and Ben Schaffer, and our bar might be in East London but there’s definitely a hint of Spain or even Portugal on the menu – it’s Cav in Bethnal Green.
And last but by no means least, we hear from Linden Pride, co-founder of award-winning Caffe Dante who tells us how he’s sharing its very signature Mediterranean vibes across New York, Beverley Hills, the French Riviera and joy, oh, joy, right here in London at Claridge's.
