It wasn't planned, but Martinis pop up a few times in this episode. Not in our product reviews, which feature Planteray Cut and Dry Coconut Rum and Tito's Handmade Vodka (although, come to think of it, the latter would make a fab base if vodka-based Martinis are your thing).As the title suggests, they're front of centre of our featured book 'The Martini – The Ultimate Guide to a Cocktail Icon' by Alice Lascelles; then they pop up in fine style in our bar review at one of the oldest restaurants in London – Rules, as well as in this week's Cocktail Hack with Simon Ford.With more than 20 years experience in the drinks industry under her belt, it's fair to say that this week's guest Charlotte Voisey knows her way around a Martini. But rather than that, we're talking to her about her brand new, exciting role as Executive Director of the Tales of the Cocktail Foundation.

What we covered in this episode Charlotte Voisey introduces William Grant & Sons, global supplier of spirits. She works with all the ambassadors on all of William Grant & Sons' brands. Their job is to make people fall in love with the company's brands such as Hendrick's Gin or Glenfiddich Scotch or Balvenie Scotch. Charlotte Voisey's role is to search for people whose personality fit those brands so that they can really bring them to life for people and extend the brand into human interaction. A good Brand Ambassador needs to have the ability to truly connect with people, and that's often through charisma, it's through interesting personality, it's through having the confidence to be a great presenter in a room. Charlotte Voisey says that the events that Brand Ambassadors create could be a study on techniques, a talk on different trends that are happening in the industry, or what's happening in different geographical areas of the world about trends in cocktails. Brand Ambassador is a wonderful job and it's an incredible experience. There's a lot of travel and you have access to experiences that most people will never see. The catch is that you are always on! Charlotte Voisey explains the process how to become a Brand Ambassador. We talk about cocktail making and about Charlotte Voisey's approach to cocktails. Series of rapid-fire questions.

Monkey Shoulder is a blended scotch, but the whole premise around Monkey Shoulder is that it's made for mixing. So it's not a traditional scotch that you sit down and sip neat. It is designed to be mixed in cocktails. For Monkey Shoulder, what we want to do is push the idea of scotch in cocktails, as extreme as possible to get this message across. We suggest to come up with an overarching idea of making a scotch Tiki cocktail, for example, or a scotch cocktail with tropical flavors, something you wouldn't normally expect. That's the goal, right? It has to be something that looks like a rum drink. That can be served by the pool. It could be blended, it could be with crushed ice. You might find it in a Tiki bar. And then you work backwards to fit in Monkey Shoulder. Then, you would then come bring in different elements. Like big tropical flavors such as fresh pineapple. You could add orgeat simple syrup instead of just a regular sugar. Start from that. Ask yourself what are you trying to achieve? How does it need to taste and how does the temperature need to be? How does it need to look? And then you work backwards rather than looking at Monkey Shoulder, like a scotch, and then thinking about scotch cocktails. How travels inspire your cocktail creations ? Last year I was lucky enough to visit both Columbia and Costa Rica. And in both places, we went to visit a coffee plantation and, I drink coffee regularly. It's not a new ingredient to me and I've even used it in drinks before, but when you actually learn the whole process of how coffee grows, the aromas of the coffee flower, how the coffee berries open, how they are processed, and then experiencing coffee tasting like a cupping.
