We're counting down the days until Simone Caporale and Lorenzo Antinori open their destined-to-be-hot, new destination bar in Hong Kong but before we here from them on the what, why and how of their first collaboration, there's our usual housekeeping to attend to.
Starting with our product reviews… Gary gets the ball rolling with the latest expression from Johnnie Walker, Johnnie Walker Black Ruby, and Sandrae cracks open a bottle of Gin Mare Capri. Our book choice is definitely one for the bartenders out there, it's the Spirited Awards nominated Bubbles: A Guide to Carbonated Cocktails by Bart Miedeksza and Valentino Girotto.
Next we head over to Scarfes Bar in London where the works of British artist and caricaturist Gerald Scarfe are reimagined in the latest menu: Long Drawn Out Sips. Then it's time to hear from two of our favourite Italians, Simone Caporale and Lorenzo Antinori about their new joint project, Montana, which combines 1970s Miami with Cuban hospitality.
What we're mixing:
Mint Julep
60ml Maker's Mark Kentucky Bourbon Whisky
20ml sugar syrup (1:1)
A handful of mint leaves
Method:
Add a handful of fresh mint leaves and the sugar syrup to a Julep cup or Rocks glass, then lightly 'muddle' together. Add bourbon, then stir, before adding plenty of crushed ice. Garnish with a sprig of mint.
