Another fortnight, another cocktail-tastic episode…
This week, we’re taking inspiration from the big screen with ‘Shaken: Drinking With James Bond & Ian Fleming’. Written by Edmund Weil, who just happens to be a distant relative of Fleming’s, it’s the official 007 cocktail book and as it’s packed with fabulous recipes by Bobby Hiddleston and Mia Johannsen from Swift, we’re sure even Daniel Craig would approve.

From the drinks cabinet, we’ve gone for products with serious credentials although neither brand takes itself too seriously. The first is a kick-ass chilli-infused spirit drink called A Horse With No Name, the other is a delicious range of canned cocktails by Whitebox Drinks.
