It’s a rather mild night in London during one of the most notorious weeks in the spirits industry that is London cocktail week. So what better way to spend London cocktail week, than fining a spot, begging to serve you one of its finest cocktails on the menu.
And so we head to Sager & Wilde, where the team there team up with The Botanist gin, to make an ensemble worthy of our palates. A spirit hand crafted and distilled in Islay, Scotland has a truly unique and premium affect to it with a nod to its progressive heritage.
