Fog on the Thames is the martini of the villain!
For once a drink dedicated to the antihero.
Born on the banks of the river Thames, hidden in the London fog.
A drink that is dirty and sophisticated at the same time.

Dedicated to Peter Pan and his joyful way of life! May this drink transport you for a while on an incontaminated beach on an island far away! Maybe Neverland!
Like Idi Amin in the movie was African on the outside and Scottish on the inside here is a drink that is Chinese on the outside and Scottish on the inside
Burn some spices as cinnamon, vanilla, anise, cloves, dried orange peels. Cover them with a nick and nora coupe, let the glass absorb the spiced smoke while you stir the ingredients of the cocktail together in a mixing glass. Then turn the coupe and pour the cocktail in it
The Smoking Reverend follows the steps of the Smoking Bishop, the Smoking Archbishop and the Smoking Pope, a line of mulled wine drinks, it has in fact a hint of the typical spicy and winey taste of the mulled wine, given by the spiced wine reduction, but remains a strong and alcohol forward drink, and the whiskey we use is Elijah Craig, which is named after Elijah Craig the reverend, who is said to have first started distilling whiskey in Kentucky, hence the name.
