This week we’re making a classic drink on #MasterofCocktails – a Bloody Mary. We’ll get through this, and then I’ll explain what you should have made instead. Clear? Good. Now…
So – the clocks have changed, and we’ve either gained an hour, lost an hour, or gone back in time. It’s unclear which… Either way, it’s time for #MasterofCocktails! This…
This week we’re re-visiting a recipe for the first time on #MasterofCocktails – The Martinez. The reason we’re doing this is that the first recipe published way back in October…
On 16th March five top London bartenders faced off in a fantastic cask-aged gin cocktail competition, which may also have been the best named event of all time! Maverick Drinks…
This week we’re making a nice potent, wintry drink for #MasterofCocktails to accompany all the unseasonably warm weather we’ve been enjoying. D’oh! Don’t worry about that though, we’re making a…
This week’s #MasterofCocktails is an absolute doosie. We’re making a Mai Tai. Probably one of the most abused and under-appreciated drinks in the world. Now, if you’ve ever ordered one…

Right then chaps – we’re going to be making something that’s very much en-vogue at the moment for this week’s #MasterofCocktails: an Aviation. Essentially, this cocktail is just a gin-sour…
For this week’s #MasterofCocktails we’re having a go at a modern classic. An Espresso Martini. Now before we begin, we’re going to start by getting a few silly preconceptions out…
Another classic long drink for this week’s #MasterofCocktails – this time around we’re making a Singapore Sling to tie in with Chinese New Year. Definitely not a massive coincidence levered…
For this week’s #MasterofCocktails, we’re making a Highball. Incredibly refreshing, and probably in my all-time top three aperitifs. Well, top 5 anyway… (Martini, Negroni, Campari-Soda…) Yep. Top 5. Now, whilst…
Alternate Title: “If it’s not perfect, what’s the fucking point?” My name is Ben. I like it when things are done properly*. This post, therefore, has been quite a while…
As promised, we made another low(ish) alcohol drink this week for #MasterofCocktails that’s fantastic in its own right. This one’s called The Adonis and it’s a real flavour-packed treat! It’s…
