I muddled a small slice of scotch bonnet with the coriander and Silver tequila. It was a fabulously refreshing drink with a background of chilli heat. Fantastic

Visited the Bols Museum in Amsterdam and lucky enough to get to sample all the genevers, this 6 yr old was a favourite and bar staff mixed an old fashioned for my husband, a whisky lover. Brought a bottle home as it is just a beautiful drink. If you’re a whisky fan I think you’d like this.

There are lots of bars serving cocktails but few decent cocktail bars where I live. I love going to a bar where you know the bar tender really understands the craft of cocktail making. I was in a bar in Newcastle last week when I asked for a classic martini, the young lady who made it for me was keen to hear my views because it was only the second one she had ever made, it was very, very good and we had a great discussion about what makes a perfect martini. I’ve learned so much from using Difford’s Guide!

Just a touch on the sweet side but very smooth and quite classic
