In this episode we're taking our tastebuds on a journey that goes from London via Latin America, Kentucky to England and various stops in between. 

We start with Never Say Die, a whiskey distilled in Kentucky, then shipped to England for its final maturation. We then head to Sweden for a taste of Bex Almqvist's fresh take in a traditional Nordic spirit, Rejmyre Akvavit.

This week’s read is a must for anyone who wants to know anything about the history of American drinks, it’s the incredible Imbibe! From Absinthe cocktail to whiskey smash, a salute in stories and drinks to Professor Jerry Thomas, Pioneer of the American Bar by David Wondrich.

That’s north America’s drinks history sorted, in west London the team at Viajante87 celebrate the flavours, tastes and traditions of Latin America in their new menu Cocktail + Culture. 

Then we’re in New York where we catch up with this week’s guest, the much travelled vision in pink and violet that is ms. franky marshall. We chat to her about her love of craft bartending, the joys of Cognac and her unwavering positivity.

Jameson Cold Brew Tonic

50ml Jameson Cold Brew

125ml tonic water

Orange wedge to garnish

Method:
