The best bars in the world – official

Want to know which bar has been voted the best in the world? Of course you so but you'll have to wait until the end of this episode…


Before that we have our two product reviews: Abasolo El Whisky de Mexico which takes us to the cornfields of sunny Mexico, followed by The Fords Gin Co Sloe gin which blends sloes from the UK and France.


We're in Venice for this week's chosen venue – the Art's Bar at the stunning St. Regis hotel. Our book choice is 60-Second Cocktail – Amazing drinks to make at home in a minute' by Joel Harrison and Neil Ridley.


This week's guest is Mark Sansom, Director of Content at The World's 50 Best Bars, 50 Best Restaurants and 50 Best Discovery. Here we speak to him about the nuts and bolts of The World's 50 Best Bars awards ceremony which he hosted in Barcelona earlier this week and share details of who made that much-coveted top spot, and other highlights from the list.


What we're mixing:


X Muse Fresh-piration by Denis Broci, Bras Manager, Claridges Hotel


50ml X Muse Vodka

10ml Italicus

75ml soda water

Fresh mint sprig and pink grapefruit wedge to garnish


Method:

Pour the first two ingredients over ice in Rocks glass. Top up with soda water and stir gently to combine. 'Clap' mint sprig in your hands to release the oils and aromas before placing on the inside of the glass with the pink grapefruit wedge.
