How to Help the Home Bartender Featuring this Season's Top Guests!

What a few months we have had. I can’t ignore that most of the world has been stuck inside while bars and restaurants have had to close because of the coronavirus. Since all bars and restaurants were closed, I know I’ve had to make myself a cocktail or two or many. Thank goodness I had advice from the world’s best - the Lush Life family.

I’m Susan Schwartz, your drinking companion, and this is, Lush Life Podcast, every week we are inspired to live life one cocktail at a time by everyone in this industry.

Since lockdown began, I’ve been asking my guests what their advice for the home bartender would be. For today’s program, I have compiled them all into one episode to send you off on your own while Lush Life takes a short break for the rest of the summer.

I’ll still be hard at work transcribing the past episodes, and bringing you loads more recipes and so much more. To keep up to date with everything, you can sign up to my weekly newsletter at alushlifemanual.com.

We’re building today’s episode, starting with a shot of Denis Broci, the Manager of all the Bars at Claridge's Hotel in London, but we also have Rebekkah Dooley, Daniyel Jones, Jack Sotti, Sasha Filimonov, Vasilis Kyritsis, Johnny Livanos, Elliot Ball, and Lauren Mote!

Our Cocktail of the week is the Bourbon & Lemonade.

Ingredients:

• 1.5 oz Bourbon
• 6 oz Lemonade (Lemon Squash)
• Honey Syrup to taste
• Sprig of Mint

Method:

Add bourbon to a highball loaded with ice. Top it up with lemonade. Stir. Garnish with a sprig of mint. If you want it a tad sweeter, add honey syrup (1:1).

If you want to make it far a picnic, just add 1.5 oz for each person to your jug and then top it up with lemonade. Add ice and you are good to go!

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