Sometimes we theme our episodes, sometimes we offer a mixed bag of tastes and goodies. This episode is all about the latter…

We start with the first of our products, the unique and delicate spirit distilled from the flower of the coconut palm, Ceylon Arrack. Our second pick takes the ABVs up a few notches, it's Redbreast Single Pot Irish Whiskey, but the Cask Strength version coming in at 57.5% ABV.

There are an abundance of drinking suggestions in our book choice, How To Drink by Victoria Moore, as well as in this week's bar, none other than the exceptional establishment which sits at No 1 on The World’s 50 Best Bars list. It is, of course, Handshake in Mexico City.

Our guest is equally fabulous, it's the co-founder of Paradiso in Barcelona, the driving force behind Women and Hospitality, owner of hospitality design company MS Bar Trends, and now co-founder of flower-inspired bar Gardenias in Lisbon, the one, the only Ms Margarita Sader.
