The Cocktail Lovers19 Joulu 2024

It's beginning to taste a lot like Christmas…

We're less than a week away from Christmas Day and we don't know about you but we're definitely in the festive mood. While this episode won’t see us going into full eggnog and sleigh-bell sound effects mode, we're certainly offering a nod in the Christmas direction.

Our book choice is one that we always rely on for the season – it’s How To Drink At Christmas from Victoria Moore.

As for our product choices, we’d be incredibly happy to unwrap either of these bottles: Bellamie Cherry Liqueur Aperitif, and Aultmore Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky Cask Finish Collection.

Our bar choice is a modern classic at any time of the year but particularly comes into it own for a cosy winter drink or two, it’s Satan’s Whiskers in East London.

Finally, our guest shares her profound knowledge of all things agave, gives some excellent gifting suggestions and tells us the tequila she’d like to find in her stocking this year – it's the wonderful Gaby Moncada.
