Like many cocktail lovers, we’re counting down the days until Simone Caporale and Lorenzo Antinori open their destined-to-be-hot, new bar in Hong Kong but before we hear from them on the what, why and how of their first collaboration, there’s our usual housekeeping to attend to.
Starting with our product reviews… Gary gets the ball rolling with the latest expression from the Johnnie Walker portfolio, Johnnie Walker Black Ruby, and Sandrae gets in the Med mood by opening a bottle of Gin Mare Capri. Our book choice is definitely one for the bartenders out there, it’s the Tales of the Cocktail Spirited Awards nominated ‘Bubbles: A Guide to Carbonated Cocktails’ by Bart Miedeksza and Valentino Girotto.

Next we head over to Scarfes Bar in London where the works of British artist and caricaturist Gerald Scarfe are reimagined in the latest menu: ‘Long Drawn Out Sip’s. Then it’s time to hear from two of our favourite Italians, Simone Caporale and Lorenzo Antinori, talking about their new joint project, Montana, which combines 1970s Miami with Cuban hospitality.
