TV chef, restaurateur and Sunday Brunch co-host Simon Rimmer joins us At The Bar to talk local beers, dive bars and why he’ll never order an Espresso Martini.
In our Mailbox segment, Simon samples a Margarita twist made with Japanese La Tomato liqueur, before setting Jack the task of creating a cocktail with his chosen ingredient: chicken skin. The result? A smoky Tequila Old Fashioned with hot honey and a chicken skin wafer garnish.
Finally, Simon describes his happy place - Del Mar, California - and Jack builds his Dream Drink: a lemongrass and basil Piña Colada, served with full holiday vibes.
Highlights include:
Calling the Espresso Martini “a fantastic bit of marketing but a crap drink”
Why he’d rather be in a dive bar than a posh cocktail spot
Championing local Manchester breweries like Cloudwater and Track
