We’re on an international journey in this episode. First, we head to warming climes for the new, limited-edition Equiano Ominira – a special blend of rums from the Caribbean and Africa. Then from one of Japan’s coldest regions, we’re tasting the delicious Toku Saké.

As for our book, we’re opening up 101 Cocktails to try before you die from Belgium born, Madrid based, Francois Monti

Back in London’s Soho we drop into the brand new incarnation of Three Sheets, from Max and Noel Venning and finally, we return to Japan, this time to Tokyo, as we catch up with our guest – the fabulous Holly Graham who tells us about her new bar, Tokyo Confidential.

10ml dry vermouth

10ml olive brine

1 or 3 pitted olives to garnish

Method:
