But before we get to the interview, there are the reviews… In this episode we share our thoughts on Dima’s Vodka from Ukraine, Amaro Santoni from Italy and the flavours of Japan to be found at Sachi and Sakaya, two bars in one building – Pantechnicon in Knightsbridge.

Tristan Stephenson’s Curious Bartender Rum Odyssey from our cocktail library brings us back to the rum theme and the cocktail were making this week seals the deal.

What we’re mixing:

Rum Old Fashioned

50ml dark rum (we used Santa Teresa)
2 1/2 tsp either Demerara or Muscovado sugar syrup (2 parts sugar to one part water)
2 dashes Orange Bitters

Orange peel to garnish

Method:
Stir all ingredients over ice in a Rocks glass. Garnish with an orange twist.
