PAUSE Drinks: Bank Holiday

By March 31, 2018Lifestyle
Here is our drinks round up to get you through the weekend and all of April.
Best place to start is where they have wine, cocktails and food. A stylish wine and aperitivo bar in Dalston, designed by Italian architecture studio Arkyna, shipping in furniture and the bartop ahead of the launch.
It has a relaxed daytime feel with a more intimate atmosphere in the evening.

Diplomatico (on the rocks, served with chocolate)
Diplomatico rums hail from the foothills of the Venezuelan Andes. The Reserva Exclusiva is an elegant and complex 12-year-old sipping rum. Keep things simple and drink it on the rocks with a side of Venezuelan chocolate – a rum that’s described as ‘Tiramisu in a glass’ doesn’t need much improvement.
Should you want to mix, try it with Sekforde for Rum, the first bespoke mixer specifically designed to enhance the flavour of premium rums. At 17kcal and only 4g of sugar per serve (great especially with the Sugar Tax coming April!).
RRP: Diplomatico  £37.95, Sekforde for Rum £1.49.
