THE DRINK

Bill Granger’s Cold Drip Negroni

An icon meets an icon. Bill Granger puts a brilliant twist on the Negroni by replacing part of the vermouth with a bold cold brew
and softening the edges with a dash of Cointreau. The result? Unexpected depth, with notes of cocoa and hazelnut,
and a vibrant freshness that tames the bitterness of Campari without covering it fully.

A Negroni that greets us with a cheerful ‘G’day’, stepping momentarily away from its sacred 1-1-1 balance — and could almost
make its way onto the Sunday brunch table.

But don’t get too comfortable… Despite its newfound roundness, it’s still a Negroni.

THE BOOK

Tokyo Jazz Joints, Philip Arneill (2023)

Tokyo Jazz Joints is a lovingly imagined and beautifully presented book that documents the transient nature
and captures the essence of jazz kissa bars. A wonderful collection of photographs shows a side of Japan
that too few people know about.

A deep sense of nostalgia slowly but surely emanates from the photographs of those places, their owners and their music.
Turn off your phone, turn the pages and put on that favorite jazz record of yours…

THE MOVIE

The Year of Living Dangerously, Peter Weir (1983)

If Peter Weir’s take on the eponymous book is definitely worth watching, Mel Gibson’s outfits throughout the movie
(selected by himself and Terry Ryan) certainly steal the show.

An endless source of inspiration for all those wishing to dress for hot summer months while not completely giving up on the silhouette…
