With over 100 different bottles at their disposal, Spey Bar by Quaich at Browns Covent Garden has plenty available for whipping up the best whiskey cocktails. From boozy cherry numbers to the classic old fashioned, this place knows its delish drinks.

The Long Scotsman is a cocktail that pays homage to Scotland's prestigious love affair with this fair spirit. The beverage uses 10 year old Glenmorganie whisky for a base, before infusing in spiced apricot liqueur, lemon juice, white pepper tincture and chocolate bitter. The sweetness of the chocolate and apricot exquisitely enhances the potent taste of the whisky and zesty lemon, producing an eruption of flavour and lingering after-bite. 

The team of expert mixologists at Purl Bar in Mayfair take experimenting to the next level, using a number of wonderfully bizarre methods to make their delectable cocktails.

The Bacon & Egg Martini is testament to the creative flair of London's talented bartenders and mixologists.

Characterful and cheeky, this is one cocktail that's hard to resist.

The talented mixologists at Hoxley & Porter pull and twist the classic Rob Roy cocktail out of shape, producing their own Smokey Bob concoction.
