In the first of our city specials, we're in New York where we spent three nights in seven incredible bars – eight if you count the two at Sip & Guzzle. As well as trying the drinks we caught up with the movers and shakers behind them to find out more about their respective venues and what they think makes the bar scene in New York tick.

We also booked in to Great Jones, the first working distillery in Manhattan for 100 years and chatted to Hanna Lee and Michael Anstendig from Hanna Lee Communications to get their perspective on what's making the city pop right now and about hear more about their recently launched project, New York Bartender Week.

What we're mixing:

The Big Apple (serves 1)

45ml Great James bourbon

45ml cloudy apple juice

10ml freshly squeezed lime juice

10ml sugar syrup (2:1)

I egg white

Cinnamon stick/cinnamon powder to garnish

Recipe from Difford's Guide; adapted from 60 Second Cocktails by Neil Ridley & Joel Harrison

Method:

Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker and dry shake to emulsify the egg white. Add ice and shake hard. TStrain into chilled coupe. Garnish with grated cinnamon or cinnamon powder.
