The world of cocktails can be tricky to navigate, especially for men. Not all of us feel comfortable standing at a bar and sipping a glass of pink liquor, adorned with an umbrella or flashy sparkler. Thankfully London Cocktail Week starts this weekend that's given us the perfect excuse (like we needed one) to source the best drinks in town. First up is the English Gents Mojito from Blind Tiger.
Method
Lightly muddle mint in base of a Collins glass. Add the other ingredients with crushed ice and churn. Garnish with a mint sprig and orange zest spiral.

He started out life as a movie writer for numerous (now defunct) magazines and soon found himself online - editing a gaggle of gadget sites, including TechRadar, Digital Camera World and Tom's Guide UK. At Shortlist you'll find him mostly writing about movies and tech, so no change there then.
