One Drink, Three Ways is the signature feature by The Three Drinkers. Join The Three Drinkers’ Helena, Aidy and Colin as they take one bottle and create a trio of phenomenal serves which you can enjoy anytime, anywhere. From rums and whiskies to gins and wine styles, the three help you get the most out of your glass. It’s time to get liquid on lips.

Brothers John and James Grant began as illicit smugglers but having built up a network of connections in Scotland, they founded The Glen Grant distillery in 1840 and even helped build local railways to help the Speyside region of Scotland become the whisky hotbed it is today.

Beautifully amber on the eye, the 10-year-old Glen Grant Scotch is the definitive Speyside whisky. It has wonderfully unique notes of green orchard, toffee, and vanilla and it’s equally quaffable for a whisky beginner or a seasoned drinker, which is part of the reason it’s picked up so many awards and heaps of praise.

Truth be told, Glen Grant is super satisfying to sip on its own, but when a whisky is this gorgeous it would be a crime not to experiment with it!

Helena’s Choice: Orchard High Ball

I’ve gone for a little orchard twist on the classic Whisky Highball. The green orchard notes of the Glen Grant work wonders so I’m emphasising them with a little pear liqueur and zesty freshness from orange bitters and wedge. Simply pour all the ingredients into a highball glass, stir well to blend everything, then add ice, and finish it off with an orange wedge for garnish.

One Drink, Three Ways: Glen Grant 10 Orchard Highball Cocktail — **Orchard High Ball**

***Recipe***
50ml Glen Grant 10YO
10ml pear liqueur (Merlet works well)
2 dashes orange bitters
Soda Top
Orange wedge

Aidy’s Choice: Brigadoon

Originally from The Player, now Basement State in Soho, this is a modern classic that delights whisky drinkers and seasoned dram fans alike. The sour lemon and sweet apricot in this combination mirror each other so well, and at the heart of it is the strong Speyside Scotch that remains the worthy star of the show. There are a few bold flavours jostling here so make sure to shake well and serve over ice.

One Drink, Three Ways: Glen Grant 10 Brigadoon Cocktail — **Brigadoon**

***Recipe***
50ml Glen Grant 10YO
20ml Apricot liqueur (Briottet works well here)
20ml lemon juice
10ml orgeat

Colin’s Choice: Grant’s Buck

This short and sharp tipple is a delight. The green fruit notes of the whisky are brought to the fore, and there’s a little extra sweetness that goes nicely too. I’m also a fan of the finish with the gentle lingering spice from the Scotch and ginger ale. Fill a rocks glass with ice and add the ingredients. Give it a good stir and garnish with a lemon twist.

Greetings drinkers! We’re back with a brand new Bring a Bottle Podcast and Aidy is joined by a wine wizard and spirit sage to sip one of the most magical Speyside whiskies going. Also, the drinkers guess the most popular British pub name, plan the ultimate Halloween cocktail, and there’s even some juicy drinking confessions thrown in! Listen now for all that and more!

OUR GUEST DRINKERS

We’re lucky enough to be accompanied by two wonderful guests this week. Firstly, it’s Chris Dennis - a mixology mastermind and spirit sage. Two decades of industry experience mean his name is known at some of the finest bars in the world, like Zetter Town House, Calooh Callay, Milk & Honey, and Trailer Happiness. After co-founding Disrepute in Soho, his newest venture is Heads & Tails in West London where Chris has continued to work with tonnes of different spirit brands... so much so that since 2021, he’s been the Rum and Whiskies Brand Ambassador for Campari, representing some beautiful drinks like Glen Grant and Appleton Rum. Welcome!

Our second fantastic guest is Hannah Crosbie, a food and wine writer extraordinaire! Her understanding of wine is second to none and in sky high demand, so she can often be found curating wine lists for restaurants or hosting a plethora of events at the likes of Soho House and One Hundred Shoreditch. From Mob Kitchen to Refinery29, from Courier and the Evening Standard, Hannah has written for them all. In 2020, she set up the Dalston Wine Club, with the aim of making wine more accessible, inclusive, and welcoming to all. Bravo! We’re delighted to have you!

WHAT’S IN OUR GLASS?

In this episode we’re sipping on a 10-year-old Speyside single malt – Glen Grant because who better to introduce us to it than the official brand rep Chris? Beautifully amber on the eye, it has notes of green orchard, toffee and vanilla. It’s equally quaffable for a whisky beginner or a seasoned drinker and would sit perfectly in a long cocktail topped with Ginger ale.

Glen Grant 10 Year Old Cocktail Discovery

The Glen Grant is used in a whisky sour style cocktail – The Brigadoon! Sour lemon intertwined with sweet apricot liqueur blends with the strong Speyside base to create an intense burst of flavour, settling down into complex layers with a subtle nuttiness from the orgeat. It’s incredible!

Ingredients
40ml Glen Grant 10YO
20ml apricot liqueur
20ml lemon juice
10ml orgeat (almond syrup)

Method:
Simply shake everything and serve over ice! Simply delicious.

DRINKS NEWS

From the ones seen in almost every village across Britain, to the weird and wonderful, we all love pub names. Did you know they date back to 1393 when King Richard II ordered every pub to be clearly signposted? Aidy has the list of most popular pub names, and Hannah and Chris get guessing! What’s your guess for top spot?

DRINKS CONFESSIONS

Drink related confessions always throw up something interesting, and this episode is no different. Is a 15k whisky wasted in porridge, or is it just a great start to the day? And find out why Chris was kicked out of a club for just opening a bottle of Champagne (we may have omitted a key detail there.)

Buy it or Bin it

The intriguingly named Tough Nut Moonshine is tried and tested in this episode! There are all kinds of smells going off with this, from Lotus biscoff to Belvita biscuits... but savoury also? It is indeed a tough nut to crack, but a dash of this hazelnut liqueur would really add to an Old Fashioned. It would also make a far more interesting cocktail balancer instead of sugar syrup! Their other flavours look just as alluring, from Sticky Toffee to Lemon Drizzle… a lovely Christmas gift.
