Well, hello there cocktail lovers, have we got a jam-packed issue for you. It’s all about innovation for the autumn/winter edition, with a focus on London (well, it was London Cocktail Week earlier this month), so get ready for features on the kookiest bars in the capital, the mavericks shaking up the drinks world and two creative companies who ensure that the most inventive drinks brands stand out from the crowd.
We have a bit of history too, with Phillip Duff and Ben Norum looking to the past for modern day innovations, while Professor Charles Spence provides the science bit with his thoughts on how we think about what’s in our glasses and Thomas Aske explains the geek speak behind the bar.

As for our style shoot, it’s all about the artistic types shaking up the drinks world, including a former sculptor, chef and interior architect.
There’s plenty more, including interviews with Zoe Burgess from Drink Factory, Ryan Chetiyawardana from Mr Lyan and Salvatore Calabrese, aka The Maestro.
