A Cocktail for Eurovision
When it comes to competitions unifying Europe, Eurovision is by far the most fabulous. Sure, football and rugby have their place, but we have a special place in our hearts for the glitzy, zany and downright fun of the global singing comp.
And for those of you that want to embrace the glitz this weekend – but don’t fancy knocking back a drink for each country – how about toasting Europe’s finest with a cocktail for Eurovision – the Eurovision Iced Tea?
Jack Williams, the Head Mixologist for cocktail specialists Late Night London, has kindly shared with us what he will be creating for his mates this weekend.
Jack says, “This is a cocktail for Eurovision and a half, packing a punch with five different spirits from across the continent. With vodka from Russia, Cointreau from France, Disaronno from Italy, Goldschlager from Switzerland and gin from Blighty, this is the Euro-drink to end all Euro-drinks. Julmust is a Swedish cola style spiced drink – it’s great stuff!
“Add the vodka, Cointreau, Disaronno, Goldschlager, gin and lime juice to a cocktail shaker and shake with ice. Then simply pour into a tall glass, add the Swedish Julmust to top up and enjoy… douze points!”
You Will Need:
Russia -15 ml Vodka
France – 5 ml Cointreau
Italy – 15 ml Disaronno
Switzerland -15 ml Goldschlager
England – 15 ml Dry Gin
Turkey – Lime Juice
Sweden – JulMust to top up
Garnish with berries, lemon slices and a Euro-trash umbrella!
If you can’t find any JulMust, then add some coke, cinnamon essence and chopped oranges and apples to the mixture instead.

My Three Favourite Whisky Cocktails
By Graham at The Whisky Shop If you mention whisky to someone, invariably images of Scottish Highlands, isolated distilleries and gentlemen sipping whisky on the rocks flash into their mind. However, in recent years whisky has enjoyed a rise in popularity among people of all ages throughout the world. This renaissance is largely down to [...]
Spring Cocktails – Strawberry Spring Punch
Spring cocktails have the unique opportunity to take advantage of fresh ripe fruits plucked from the vine during peak season. Strawberry Spring Punch combines lush, sweet strawberries with aromatic rosemary and a hint of spicy ginger. The result is fresh, clean sweetness that lilts over the tongue. Strawberry Spring Punch – recipe by Cheri Loughlin, [...]

Cocktail Bar Review: Bar Americain, London
It is one of the enduring pleasures of London living that every now and then you come across something to bring an unexpected smile of surprise to your face. Particularly pleasing is that my latest such experience took place just a few yards from the horror that is Piccadilly Circus. Head north onto Sherwood Street [...]
Cocktail Bar Review: Powder Keg Diplomacy, London
The North South divide really is a bit of a problem. We’re not talking economics here, but the distribution of decent cocktail bars on the Capital’s drinking map. Whereas North of the river you’ll struggle to walk 50 yards without bumping into the latest must visit establishment, South London remains a veritable desert. Fortunately, even [...]
Cocktail Bar Review: Hawksmoor (Air Street), London
Whilst some follow the latest fashion with an impressive level of dedication, I have long been content to leave being ‘cool’ to others, and focus my efforts elsewhere. I am however a fan of the trend towards the blurring of lines between restaurants and cocktail bars. I like eating, I like drinking cocktails, and I [...]
Sweet & Iconic – The Mint Julep Cocktail
The Mint Julep is an iconic, sweet cocktail consisting of four key ingredients: bourbon, mint leaf, sugar and water. If prepared properly, the cocktail is a smooth, balanced blend of bourbon and sweetness – perhaps the American favourite among all the bourbon cocktails. The cocktail belongs to a family of drinks known as “smashes” which [...]
The Home Cocktail Party & Beyond
Organising a home cocktail party has never been more popular, as more and more people opt to swerve town and socialise at home at the weekends. On the back of this, specialist services have sprung up across the country offering everything from the supply of professional cocktail waiters & the option to hire a cocktail [...]
St Georges Day Cocktail – Dragons Blood
We got quite a few submissions in this year for St Georges Day Cocktails, some good, some not so appealing!! Unfortunately, we don’t have time to put them all up so we thought we would share this one from the guys at The Lost Angel Bar at Battersea, the fantastically titled Dragons Blood…ggrrrr Dragons Blood [...]
Cocktail Bar Review: Whiski, Edinburgh
Located at the less touristy end of Royal Mile (that much so its called High Street here), this traditional looking bar thankfully isn’t full of tourists but contains a lot of local accents. The main draw to this bar is its Whisky and what a selection – 300 whiskies from around the world including Japan, [...]
St George`s Day Cocktail – Patrons Punch Cocktail
As tomorrow is St George’s Day, how about celebrating by toasting glasses of Gallo Family Vineyards Patron’s Punch. We gave this a blast in the office and found it rich with flavours of cherry, pomegranate and raspberry – very moreish! When serving with food, we reckon you should keep the menu quintessentially British, maybe treat friends and family [...]
Cocktail Bar Review: The Dead Rabbit Grocery & Grog, New York City
When the last bar you ran had a reputation for taking home almost every award going, including World’s Best Hotel Bar and World’s Best Cocktail Menu, the expectations for your next place are pretty high. The former was the Bar at the Merchant Hotel in Belfast, the latter is The Dead Rabbit Grocery & Grog [...]

Cocktail Bar Review: Reverie, Edinburgh
Wine bar/bistro styled drinkery with a large bar serving area and doted around the windows with cosy candle lit tables. The wide windows are great for people watching at this busy junction and give the bar a huge amount of natural light which lifts up the dark colour of the serving area.
My Favourite Cocktail – “Sazerac”
By Alex at House of Bourbon It may seem strange, coming from a Scotch Whisky enthusiast who writes under the name of House of Bourbon, that my favourite cocktail is commonly made with rye whiskey, and before that even used grain-less Cognac as a base. But we dipsologists can be a contrary bunch, and [...]
A True Classic – the “Tom Collins” cocktail
The Tom Collins cocktail is one of the best known drinks with gin and the original recipe was a classic mix of gin, lemon juice, sugar and carbonated water. The first recipe for the Tom Collins appeared in the 1876 edition of “The Bartenders Guide” by famous mixologist Jerry Thomas. There are several other drinks [...]
Cocktail Bar Review: Beaufort Bar at The Savoy, London
For most people, the American Bar at the Savoy Hotel is the bar that comes first to mind over it’s sister the Beaufort. It’s older, larger and has been tended by legendary bartenders Ada Coleman, Harry Craddock and today’s man of the moment Erik Lorincz. The Beaufort Bar by contrast has only been in existence since the hotel’s budget-busting makeover completed in 2011, although the cabaret [...]

My Favourite Cocktail – Negroni cocktail
By Lee Jones from Wax Bar and Juke Joint, Leeds Created sometime before 1920 at the Bar Casoni in Florence. The Negroni cocktail was a short jump from the classic apperitif the ‘Americano‘ – a simple mix of Sweet Vermouth, Campari and Soda. The addition of gin came at the request of a patron, the Count [...]

Who Created the Mai Tai Cocktail?
When you think of the Tiki bar and drinking culture, which gripped the West coast of America in the 1940`s, there is a good chance that the popular Mai Tai cocktail springs mind. The legendary cocktail, primarily based on rum, Curacao liqueur and lime juice, has been the “poster-boy” for this kitsch culture and is [...]
