About Richard Godwin
A book club but for cocktails
Every Friday, just as you’re getting thirsty, I will send out a new edition of The Spirits. It will consist of a WEEKLY SPECIAL - that’s a cocktail recipe that we can all make together - as well as choice bits of cocktail history, bar chat, ice discourse, reveries, tips, techniques, a weekly playlist and as little boring stuff as I can possibly manage. It will be the digital equivalent, I hope, of slipping into your favourite bar on the way home from work. In those halcyon days when “bars” and “work” still existed.
How to get the most out of the Spirits
It’s annoying, isn’t it, when you click on a cocktail recipe and it requires you to purchase a specific brand of mezcal that’s £76 and some recherché amaro that you can only buy on a sepcific Umbrian farmstead. I find that annoying.
