Plus Patrón El Alto Tequila, The Lost Explorer Salmiana Mezcal, Modern Classic Cocktails and a visit to the newly opened Dover Yard
Himkok in Oslo have just unleashed their most ambitious project yet – a catwalk collection inspired by the 13 cocktails on their new menu. But before we hear from head of research and development at Himkok, Paul Voza about that, we have this week’s bottles, bar and book recommendations
Our drinks reviews take in two products of the agave variety: the first is Patrón El Alto Tequila; the second, The Lost Explorer Salmiana Mezcal. On the bars front, we sample the cocktails and soak up the luxe but fabulously laid back vibes at recently opened Dover Yard, while our book choice is the excellent Modern Classic Cocktails – 60 Stories and Recipes from the New Golden Age in Drinks by Robert Simonson.
