In the latest episode of Always in Season, Ericka joins me to chat about working as a perfumer at the popular cosmetic company Lush and how this took her through to working behind some of the UK's top cocktail bars.

Here we learn about experimenting with cocktails, top tips for making delicious mocktails and learning about ancient techniques of mixology which many bartenders still use today.
