We made it our business to be amongst the first in the queue to check out the two bars at the gorgeous new NoMad London, and as we imagined, they didn't disappoint. There's Side Hustle upstairs and Atrium downstairs – if you're cocktail lovers like us, we suggest you make it your business to visit both

Keeping our review hats on we try a new spirit drink called Aloha65, discover Baldoria vermouths and extol the virtues of 'Schofield's Fine and Classic Cocktails – Celebrated Libations and Other Fancy Drinks' by Joe and Daniel Schofield.

Lastly, we talk to Andy Shannon about Candra Drinks, the fab new website he's co-created with spirited consumers in mind. There's recipes, videos, drinks calculators, recipe searches, playlists – in short everything you need to make amazing drinks at home. It's definitely worth having on your radar.

This week's cocktail hack is courtesy of Simone Caporale from Sips Drinkery House, Barcelona.

What we're mixing:

Sandrae's Hot Toddy

Hot water

1/2 freshly squeezed lemon

1-2 tsp honey

50ml rum, brandy, whisky

Method:

The beauty is, there is no method! Combine the lemon and honey in a mug, pour in boiling water and top with your spirit of choice. Stir the lot together and adjust to your specified taste. Job done.
