Head Bartender, Tippling Club
"Cocktail making has become more advanced. One gadget that’s widely used today is the rotary evaporator (like a traditional still, except under pressure), which allows us to create our own spirit bases. This means that the ingredients aren’t subjected to as much heat damage, allowing us to achieve a very delicate and full flavour from our distillate. We use this to create our own beetroot vodka, which is used in our Rain cocktail."
