There’s more than a dash of elegance in the mix in this episode, and we make no apologies for that. In fact, we positively applaud ourselves for making a feature of it.
We start by opening up a very distinctive bottle to unveil the unique taste of Bitter Cedrino – a very special Italian liqueur, blended from Mediterranean herbs with a touch of Sardinian sea water.
Then we head off to MA/NA, an ever-so stylish, incredibly hot new spot in London’s Mayfair – to experience Japanese inspired precision, rhythm and heat in an exceptionally aesthetic space, serving equally exceptional cocktails.

We’ve also news of cocktail glassware innovations, which are as chic as they are functional. Hardly surprising when one is the creation of Giorgio Bargiani, of the Connaught Bar, the other comes from Lorenzo Antinori of Bar Leone. Plus we feature another two collections from bartenders creating barware in gorgeous ceramics – all guaranteed to add a touch of class to any cocktail cabinet.
And our guest is elegance personified, it’s Minakshi Singh who shares her story from the challenges she faced as a young, female bartender in India 20 years ago, up to the present day, where she’s now one of the driving forces on the country’s bar scene, as the co-founder of five venues.
