Mesmerising Mixology And Creative Cocktails At This East London Bar The Cocktail Trading Company 5

When drinking at East London's Cocktail Trading Company, expect the unexpected. These guys take mixology to another level — each cocktail is a work of art in its own right. They're tasty, too.

A zesty punch is served granita-style inside a shell, featuring an aromatic almond-lime sherbet and plenty of rum — we can imagine slurping this on a sunny beach. The Scofflaw, with its Glenmorangie whisky, sesame, pink peppercorns and mint, comes fitted out with a magnifying glass, photos of the Kray twins, and a scent of rain on the side of the glass — the aim is to recreate the atmosphere of a rainy day in east London.

Frankly, if rainy days taste this good, give us constant monsoons in Shoreditch.

The Cocktail Trading Company, 68 Bethnal Green Road, E1 6GQ.
