When you are in London, visit an authentic pub.
Never a chain pub, but a typical pub.
And theGrenadierin Knightsbridge claims to have invented the Bloody Mary.
Theyre famous for that drink.
This is a genuine pub that I wholeheartedly recommend.
According to Palazzi, For a perfect drink, the temperature and the execution are truly important.
If you shake or stir, you must double-check theres not much dilution.
He continued, Many bartenders think that lemons or olives are decorations, but that is very wrong.
Lemon oil and olives are also ingredients.
With olives, it is important that they are natural.
We use Nocerella olives, which are plain and juicy.
Theres no secret to the perfect martiniits all about the temperature, the execution, and the ingredients.
We haveJermyn StreetandBuckingham Palacejust around the corner.
These establishments have been around for hundreds of years.
When you go to Lock & Co., you discover that they created the Bowler hat.
