Hugo Spritz

The Hugo Spritz appears to be the cocktail everyone is talking about at the moment. Let me explain why.

1919 Sour

The 1919 Sour is a cocktail I discovered while staying away. Aperol based but low alcohol with full taste and a great look.

My frustration with the Martini brand

My frustration with the Martini brand is that they launch new products in the UK and then don’t support them. Surprise, surprise the newest 2 have now been dropped. It’s a problem!

Citrus Negroni

The Citrus Negroni is a great, modern twist on the 3 ingredient classic.

Tipping Point – modern and English cocktail

Try this aperitivo style cocktail with mainly English ingredients. It combines equal quantities of Kamm & Sons aperitif with Chase Marmalade vodka and half as much Martini Rosso. Slightly bitter in flavour, this is a great pre-dinner cocktail. More here.

Spiced Negroni – an interesting twist on a classic

Many will argue that the iconic Negroni shouldn’t be messed with. However this for me is the the best Negroni around. The Spiced Negroni featuring the fabulous Audemus pink pepper gin, Sacred Spirits spiced red vermouth and a little Campari.

Aperol Spritz – deservedly on the radar

Aperol Spritz is a fantastic light, summery cocktail, popular in Southern Europe. It deserves to be more widely known here. If we had the weather I’m sure it would be. 3 ingredients, no shaking, no fiddle, just enjoy.
