Description

It’s the first episode of the New Year so before we jump fully into 2026 we want to take a moment to look back and celebrate 2025.

During the year we were once again fortunate enough, both here in the UK and further afield, to have enjoyed an array of incredible cocktail experiences, visited some wonderful bars and best of all, meet some of the fantastic people in the drinks world. So here, in no particular order, are some of our most memorable moments from the last year.

What we're mixing:

Half a barspoon of honey

15ml apple juice

30ml blended Scotch whisky

Champagne to top

Method:

Chill your flute glasses. Stir the honey and whisky in the base of your shaker to dissolve honey. Add apple juice then shake ingredients over ice. Fine strain into your chilled flute. Top with chilled sparkling wine or Champagne.
