A Measure of Britain

An irreverent guide to Britain through the cocktails we love, from drinks expert Robertson Buckhaven. Perfect for fans of Felicity Cloake.

Rob Buckhaven embarks on a boozy pilgrimage across the British Isles, from Scotland to Cornwall, to find the cocktails that represent the very soul of the UK, and how they're made. From cosy pubs to glamorous city bars and everything in between, A Measure of Britain looks at Britain's relationship with cocktails as touchstones, emblematic of our attitudes towards class, national pride and identity.

Rob dissects the nation's most iconic drinks, unveiling how they've shaped and been shaped by British identity. He unpacks what they say about our 'very British' quirks, our culture and why we simply cannot be trusted, either at happy hour or last orders.

Distilling his liquid research even further, each of Rob's chapters ends with his perfect recipe for each cocktail.
