I absolutely adore your writing, it gives me such joy, so if I may be so bold to ask...what is your treatise on cocktails? I would love to hear you opine at length about drinks, history, philosophy, etc, but mostly cocktails, because I am rather bamboozled by them, and it's a rather intriguing topic.

I haven’t got time for a historical treatise, but I can definitely give you some OPINIONS. I love cocktails of all kinds, from the fruity ones with umbrellas and unnatural colours to the lethal ones which are basically straight spirits wearing a false moustache. I keep a drinks trolley fully stocked so I can make my own at home, like some kind of 1920s aristo. 

(disclaimer: my tastes run to strong cocktails where the taste of the alcohol is prominent. you can google the recipes for any of these, and then start to experiment with ratios and variations as per your own taste. COCKTAILS ARE FUN. these are all very commonly made, very classic ones; when I go out I love to try more inventive and interesting flavour combinations, but when I’m at home I stick to the basics.)

I actually don’t drink many GIN cocktails because my favourite drink of all time is a good, strong, minimalist gin and tonic. from time to time I do feel like a classic martini. but as soon as you start adding anything more exciting than tonic or vermouth to gin I feel like you are wasting your gin, and if you don’t want to taste the base spirit then you are USING THE WRONG GIN. very occasionally I will make a gin cocktail with an iced tea or tisane, because gin and tea do go well together.

white RUM is a waste of time, sorry mojito fans, but a good smoked or spiced dark rum is a fantastic cocktail base. again it’s hard to beat a classic dark & stormy, but I also invented a great rum cocktail for a pirates of the caribbean watching session: kraken rum, fizzy apple, cinnamon syrup. it’s great. and when you’re sick, a hot rum toddy is like a soft alcoholic blanket for your sinuses.

as for TEQUILA, I love classic margaritas (here’s your recipe: 1:1:2 of fresh squeezed lime juice, cointreau, gold tequila). but I have a soft spot for a tequila sunrise as well. and I have had some amazing mezcal-based cocktails at bars, and if you ever get the chance to try a pisco sour, GO FOR IT. (pisco is not tequila, but it’s close-ish in taste.)

I drink very little VODKA but cosmopolitans are actually one of my favourite out-at-a-bar drinks because i don’t keep the ingredients to hand at home. I do make white russians when I want dessert in a glass, and I drink espresso martinis when I am feeling decadent at brunch.

I only recently began to drink BOURBON and I’m becoming increasingly obsessed with it. you have to try smitten kitchen’s classic manhattan. and I will try almost any variation on an old fashioned at least once; again from sk is this one, the fairytale of new york, which takes a bit of syrup-making effort but which is heaven in a glass.

honestly I use bourbon in all of my whisky-based cocktails because I’m still finding my way into appreciating single malts and the scottish/irish/japanese whiskies, but I will say that scotch makes an incredible penicillin, and a rusty nail is a great sipping cocktail if you like drambuie, which I do.
