Simon Ford and Dushan Zaric did yet another launch of spirits company, The 86 Company, at Harvard & Stone where they did tastings of the products as well as a special cocktail menu. Since Corner Door popped up on the back patio, I grabbed some food and ordered a Filament cocktail (gin, lemon and grapefruit, maraschino, bitters) at the front bar to prep for the night of drinking that would follow at the R&D bar in the back. Once in front of Simon, I was blessed with one of his Mum’s Apple Piecocktails which turned out to be the most popular drink of the night. With its mix of Cana Brava 3 year rum, apple cider, lemon, Demerara and cinnamon. Amazingly it tasted like an actual apple pie without any of the cloying sweetness you’d assume such a cocktail to have.
