When I think of Christmas, I think of my late grandad, I think of him digging through a box of heroes chocolates, I think of him putting a little too much salt on his roast potatoes, I think of him eating a cherry Bakewell tart and leaving the cherry til last as it was his favourite part, I think of him having a glass of sherry on Christmas Eve, and I think of him finishing off his Christmas dinner with a small dram of whisky. All of these small things I've managed to represent across my drink: Sonder.

Chocolate bitters and saline covers the heroes chocolates and salty roast potatoes, Cherry Heering, the cherry at the end of the Bakewell tart, Pedro Ximenez - the sherry, and lastly Singleton for his dram of scotch.

It's a simple drink, to be sipped and enjoyed and to watch the world go by as it goes down. We all know Christmas is a time for reflection, so the name Sonder was the perfect fit for this dessert like nod to an old fashioned. Sonder means to consider that everyone has their own unique life, full of experiences, full of love and loss. I can't think of a more beautiful thing to contemplate as you drink a delicious drink.
