What an incredible day yesterday. I was in London to judge vodka for the IWSC and serendipitously it was IWD and so I got to spend it with some wonderful women in the industry (and some great guys too). I always begin these affairs with my sensible head on (must not be home too late) and amongst such good company it almost always descends into glorious mischief. From judging we stopped for a quick pint in @dehems_london to celebrate the birthday of sweetheart and whisky hero @meatrobot. From here we popped along to @swiftbars soho for their Irish coffee and Martinis. Always a pleasure. From there we went to the gorgeous @thecoralroom in the prestigious @hotelbloomsbury to taste through a fantastic new concept cocktail menu inspired by Ireland with a gorgeous menu designed around James Joyce. I'm a big James Joyce fan so it ticked a lot of boxes for me and the cocktails were exquisite. Well worth checking out. Utter decadence. Finally, we couldn't help but stop in @gordonswinebar one of the oldest bars in London, for a cheeseboard and glass of fino. Fabulous times with fabulous people. Despite the 5am start and rolling in close to midnight, here I am set to to it all again today...I mean there is always the chance my sensible head will stay on...but a little something tells me it won't 😉 #IWSC #IWD #Vodka #DeHems #BarSwift #Martini #Cocktail #TheCoralBar #Bloomsbury #JamesJoyce #GordonsWineBar #London https://www.instagram.com/p/CpjwCVxsmFN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
