Next Level Negroni

Complex in flavor yet simple to make and arguably one of the cocktail world’s most inspired creations, no wonder the classic Negroni has become an international favorite over the last few years. It’s a drink that allows your choice of gin to shine through and will give you many flavorsome avenues to explore. We’ve tweaked the formula slightly for an extra fruity version. For a completely different twist, swap out the gin entirely and use a bourbon or fruity Scotch whisky to create a Boulevardier.

The ‘Vamos’ Gin Fizz

The Ramos Gin Fizz, a creamy gin-based drink with a light, frothy, almost souffle-like head, is an undisputed classic. We’ve come up with a little life hack to make an excellent Ramos style drink that won’t take five minutes to make and leave your arms numb from a full-on shaker workout! #sorrynotsorry.

Wondermint Julep

Among the greatest bourbon-based cocktails is the Mint Julep. This cocktail’s simple ingredients are the key to its longevity. It’s also wonderfully easy to personalize, too, taking it in any direction you choose: from adding a different variety of mint, such as lemon mint, or a sprig of fresh thyme for something more herbaceous, to a different type of sugar syrup, such as muscovado, for a more malty, toasted flavor, which we’ve used here.

Firecracker Margarita

The Margarita is pretty much THE perfect drink as it is, and can be served ‘straight up’ (without ice) or over ice cubes or crushed ice. Versatile and delicious, our take on it adds a touch of spice to give it a real Mexican kick. The devil—or el diablo—is in the detail with the amount of heat you add to this bad-boy-of-a-cocktail.

Heart Peat

This one is a play on another classic called the Blood & Sand, a drink that takes its name from a 1922 Rudolph Valentino movie of the same name. The star performer in this cinematic cocktail is a feisty, powerful, sultry, smoky Scotch whisky, which brings character, a touch of dryness and plenty of charisma.

White Port Cobbler

When it comes to port, you’re probably familiar with the ruby variety, which we feature in a couple of drinks in this book, but are you on tasting terms with the fresh, bright and aromatic white variety? If not, time to grab a bottle of Portugal’s ‘best-kept secret’ from the supermarket! This simple yet balanced Cobbler—a style of cocktail from the early 19th century—is perfect for summer get-togethers.
