How to Make a Fail-Safe Five Year Plan With Thomas Soden, Nine Lives Bar

I met today’s guest two years ago at a Mocktail Tasting Competition he was judging. I think at that time I was the only person in London who hadn’t heard of the famed Thomas Soden. From that day forward, Tom’s become what I call my spiritual guru, always available to advise me and answer my questions every step of the way.

He’s had almost every job in the industry but it’s his enthusiasm for what he does and his giving spirit that have made him one of the best Bar Consultants in the world and his second home, Nine Lives.

The Old English was our Cocktail of the Week:

  • 2 Tablespoons of Marmalade
  • 50ml Runny honey
  • 250ml Boiling Water
  • 50ml Campari
  • 10 dashes Angostura Bitters
  • 450ml Rich, fruity Scotch such as Highland Park 12yr, Craggonmore 12yr or Singleton of Dufftown

Add the marmalade, honey & boiling water & mix together in a jug until dissolved before allowing to cool. Strain off any bits from the marmalade & mix in the Angostura bitters, Campari & Scotch whisky. Pour into a bottle & store in the fridge until required. When serving pour. over cubed or cracked block ice & garnish with an orange twist.

Always remember the wise words of Oscar Wilde, “All things in moderation, including moderation,” and always drink responsibly!
