Bartender top tips
5 years ago, I created The Laverstoke. At the time it was described as a “future classic in the making” and 5 years on, this has become a reality. We see the cocktail on bar menus across the world which is a true honour. This Anniversary Edition switches MARTINI Bianco for the new MARTINI Ambrato and fresh mint for fresh lemon thyme garnish for this twist on a modern classic.
