Put down the shaker, screw the cap back on the Campari, stop trying to figure out how to make those big clear ice cubes in your little home freezer; it’s time to give cocktail duties back to the professionals. After a tough year-or-so for the industry it’s basically the duty of every self-respecting cocktailian to head out and support our favourite spots by getting a few rounds in. Just as well then, that London’s bartenders are offering new menus, honed over months of lockdown, and filed with new drinks to get acquainted with. These are some of the best new cocktails on offer in the capital right now. Cheers.

The crew at the Langham reopened their doors on the 20th of May with a cocktail offering that reflected on our time in lockdown. The typically virtuosic list contains references to mindfulness and healing, as well as ingredients like clarified strawberry milkshake, pineapple eau de vie, and horchata ice cream.
