For the final episode of this season we’ve picked out some special people, places and products. We start with the limited-edition El Dorado High Ester Blend PM/DHE rum and follow with the new, low ABV 6 Percent Sauvignon Blanc wine.
Our book is ‘Cocktail Time: The Ultimate Guide to Grown-Up Fun! Great advice, embarrassing stories 125 classic and original drinks’ from renowned film director Paul Feig and we head to Oslo, where we spent a couple of precious days with the team at Himkok.

Always a special experience, this particular visit saw us sampling the delights of the brand new menu which takes in 13 incredible drinks, each reimagined in unique forms – ranging from floor and table lamps to chairs and ceramics by the incredibly talented Norwegian design team, Studio Sløyd. (All items are for sale – including the drinks, obvs)
And joining us in the hot seat, we have Keegan McGregor, last year’s winner of the Diageo World Class Bartender of the Year Competition, who, with this year’s global final just over a week away, talks about how he approached the competition, its importance to bartenders and the impact winning has on life and careers.
