Getting the lowdown on tequila and mezcal with Ivy Mix

We continue the summer drinking vibes with some fab products to have on your radar. Such as Sipsmith Chilli & Lime Gin from their limited-edition Sipping Series, and Equiano Light, a new white(ish) rum dedicated to one of the most fascinating men in history, Odulah Equiano. From our groaning cocktail library we pick out 'The New Craft of the Cocktail: Everything You Need To Know To Think Like A Master Mixologist', a fabulous guide packed with top tips and 500 recipes from King Cocktail, Dale DeGroff.

Our bar review sees us soaking up the bright, brilliant and beautiful decidedly summery drinks created by Tato Giovanni at recently opened Sucre and Abajo and we gen up on all things tequila and mezcal with the queen of agave spirits, Ivy Mix.

What we're mixing: Piña Colada

50ml Equiano Light Rum (or white rum)

25ml Coco Re'al Cream of Coconut

25ml fresh pineapple juice

5ml fresh lime juice

Method:

Blend all ingredients together over crushed ice. Garnish with a dusting of nutmeg and three pineapple leaves.
