Porter’s Gin- A modern style from Aberdeen

April 7, 2019 by Sarah James 3 Comments

Porter's - Buddha's Hand

Tropical Old Tom from Porter’s Gin: It’s hard to remember that only a few years ago if you asked for a G&T in a bar or pub your choices were likely to be limited to Beefeater, Gordon’s or Bombay Sapphire.  But in recent years the market has changed enormously with hundreds of new distilleries opening, […]

St_Germain_LCW18_Petit_Pois_IMG_10712

St Germain – The Salt and Pepper in my Cocktail: It’s London Cocktail Week and that means it’s time to put your glad rags on and get out into the city’s many bars and clubs and get drinking – sensibly of course! I was invited to the bijou Petit Pois Bistro in trendy Hoxton Square where four of London’s […]

Making the Perfect Negroni with MARTINI

October 2, 2018 by Sarah James 13 Comments

MARTINI - Negroni Cocktail

Negroni Cocktail Recipe with Martini I’ve been a fan of the Negroni for a long time; I’m not a fan of sweet cocktails at all, so the bitter alternatives offered by a Negroni cocktail as a pre-dinner Aperitivo is a frequent choice of mine, such as the ones we recently enjoyed at Luca. I love […]

Cocktails from Islay – the Bruichladdich Stinging Scot and the Botantist Lava Lamp

February 19, 2018 by Sarah James 10 Comments

The Botanist at Sager + Wilde

Two Cool Cocktails to keep you warm! I hate this time of year; it’s cold, dark, and more often than not, raining.  Whilst a hot toddie is a great antidote to the British weather, sometimes something more sophisticated is desired.   I have a small amount of Scottish heritage, one grandparent being a Mackenzie, and my […]

Solerno – the blood orange liqueur

December 17, 2017 by Sarah James 15 Comments

Solerno - Solerno Royale

Cocktails with Solerno Liqueur: At the risk of sounding like an alcoholic, it’s rather fun to be sent a bottle of something new to try and to have a go at making up some new drinks.  So one dull Saturday evening we opened the very pretty bottle of Solerno and started to experiment.  I really […]

Storm Clouds and Thunder

Storm Clouds and Thunder over Kennington: I have probably done more cocktail mixing classes than anyone in London other than a professional mixologist.  I go along and join in various events, shaking away with the best of them to make a whole range of cocktails.  I’ve done special rum cocktail mixing events.  I’m a regular […]
