Wow, September, how did that happen?? Autumn is here and looking good, with London Cocktail Week and RumFest just around the corner, we’re excited for a series of Negroni masterclasses hosted by Cocchi’s legendary Roberto Bava and Diplomatico rum are about to reveal some very tasty new products…

Revelling in the not-so-disappointing British summer this year, we've been making the most of the great outdoors: hosting an event with Foodism magazine readers and Diplomatico's newly-found 'Diplomats of a new era' on a Shoreditch rooftop, sipping Cocchi spritzes at Piccolino's Aperi-Tea and bringing the outside in with Jensen's 'Garden to Glass' cocktails. Our/London will be helping us relax in between times, with the release of their home Infusion Kits with P&T and the upcoming 'Re-Turnmills' - a chilled Sunday brunch collaboration with the guys over at Albion Clerkenwell. The fun continues past the summer too, we're already looking forward to October's Rum Fest and (eek!) making plans for Christmas!

Enjoy the sunshine!

Searching for some spring sunshine, it was off to Turin and Cocconato at the end of March to celebrate the release of a new limited edition Cocchi Vermouth. We’re continuing ‘la dolce vita’ back home with the release of the zingy Cocchi Lemongrass and Ginger spritz. Diplomatico have raided the garden with their delicious ‘healthy hedonism’ vegetable cocktail serves whilst unearthing some of London’s best talent in the search for the ‘Diplomat of the New Era’. Is Fradis has kicked off the opening of the summer season last weekend with a new Sardinian inspired summer menu and a soon to be announced special guest DJ. Jensen’s are keeping things sprouting with their new allotment cocktails which you can try for yourself at the Ropewalk Bar in Lassco whilst Our/London vodka has been named ‘Best booze in London’ by the Telegraph.

Bring on Summer!
