We are fresh back from one of our favourite cities, Mexico City. It had been nearly two years since we had last been and we were amazed by how much growth there has been in the city in terms of new bars and bartenders popping up. The city was alive with enthusiasm for everyone drinking…

This month Lucas of Famous Last Words Bar in Toronto reviews the beautiful Craft Cocktails: Seasonally Inspired Drinks & Snacks from Our Sipping Room by Geoff Dillon and Whitney Rorison.
