Aureus Vita Introduces the Millionaire Martini at Fitz's Russell Sq., London

Fitz's Russell Sq: Aureus Vita Gin unveils its most indulgent creation to date: the Millionaire Martini - a refined expression of modern luxury designed for discerning cocktail aficionados.

A sophisticated reimagining of a classic, the Millionaire Martini blends Aureus Vita Gin with a finely balanced dry vermouth blend, finished with a flourish of Dom Pérignon.

The cocktail is crowned with yuzu caviar, delivering delicate bursts of citrus that elevate both flavour and presentation. 

At the heart of the cocktail is Aureus Vita Gin, selected for its expressive character and refined structure, an ultra-luxury gin meticulously created in 2025 after years of meticulous experimentation  and crafted to the golden ratio of Fibonacci (1.618). 

Applied to every step of the mathematically-balanced production, in what is now called the 'Fibonacci-Hall' distillation method, Aureus Vita is mathematical taste perfection. Chemist-turned-master-distiller John Hall has created pure harmony: from the intense study of the molecular behaviour of spirits, to the geometric laws that govern nature, this is a c
ategory-defining liquid that stuns and surprises in equal measure.

Served in the richly atmospheric, velour-lined interiors of Fitz's Russell Sq., the cocktail reflects the bar's philosophy of precise craftsmanship paired with unapologetic glamour.

Edgars Zavoronkovs, Bars Manager at Fitz's Russell Sq. told That's Food and Drink: “The Millionaire Martini is indulgence, precisely measured. A martini designed to be savoured, not rushed. The complexity of flavour is unmatched within the industry and the Champagne adds another level of luxury for Valentines.” 

John Hall, Creator of Aureus Vita Gin, added: “We always hoped that the creativity of the London bar scene would understand and enjoy Aureus Vita and the ultimate accolade is to see our gin embraced by venues such as Fitz's.” 

Set within the historic grandeur of the Kimpton Fitzroy London, Fitz's Russell Sq. has become a destination for those seeking elevated cocktail experiences. 

The Millionaire Martini embodies the bar's signature approach - timeless, confident and exquisitely crafted.

More than a cocktail, the Millionaire Martini is an invitation to linger, indulge and celebrate life's finer moments in one of London's most seductive cocktail settings.

Available exclusively at: Fitz's Russell Sq., Kimpton Fitzroy, London.

Karen Gillan unveiled as The Muse for Compass Box Whisky's Hedonism 2026

Karen Gillan is today unveiled as The Muse for Scotch Whiskymaker  Compass Box's limited edition Hedonism. 

Gillan is the muse for internationally renowned artist Emma Hack, best known for her work on Gotye's Somebody That I Used to Know - one of the most viewed music videos of all time. 

Hedonism made history when it first launched in 2000, as the first Scotch whisky to place a woman at the centre of its label. 

This bold creative decision went one step further when, in 2023, Hedonism became a Limited Annual Release, and Compass Box began working with a different female artist each year to reimagine the original Hedonism woman in her own eyes. 

The tradition continues now with Karen. 

The Scottish actor and filmmaker known for her roles in Guardians of the Galaxy, Avengers and Jumanji was born in Inverness - the gateway to the Highlands -  she has become one of Scotland's most successful Hollywood exports while continuing to champion independent film and female-led storytelling.

Karen Gillan told That's Food and Drink: “To be considered a muse for this whisky and to be a part of its story is deeply personal to me. 

"Sharing whisky and stories are some of the best times of my life. There's no wilder sensation than seeing yourself on a whisky bottle.”

Acclaimed artist Emma Hack, celebrated for her striking fusion of body art, collage, and photography, has reimagined the original Hedonism woman through a contemporary, layered lens. With Gillan at the centre, the artwork celebrates grace, strength, and individuality.

Artist Emma Hack told us: “Hedonism means to me the power, the beauty, the goddess, the strength within, and that's what I really wanted to capture.”

Behind the artwork sits one of the most influential whiskies of the modern era.

First released in 2000, Hedonism was a revolutionary moment in drinks: the world's first blended grain Scotch whisky. Celebrated for its silky texture, layered sweetness, and remarkable complexity, it transformed perceptions of grain whisky forever. 

As Hedonism rose to global prominence, the rare and mature grain whiskies that defined its style became increasingly scarce. 

In 2023, Compass Box responded by reinventing Hedonism as a Limited Annual Release, using each one to push the conversation around grain whisky forward.. 

For the 2026 edition of Hedonism, Compass Box's Creative Director of Whiskymaking, Angela D'Orazio, included some of the oldest components ever used in Hedonism to date, including a 30-year-old from Strathclyde Distillery; the recipe also includes whiskies ranging from 20 to 24 years old from Port Dundas and Cameronbridge Distillery, alongside some historic Blended Grain Parcels.

In addition, a new sherry component contributes notes of cherry and raisins. The nose is warm, rich and inviting, with clove-spiced fruitcake, dates and toffee. The palate is complex, evoking coffee and cocoa-infused cream. The finish melts softly and lingers.

Angela D'Orazio, Compass Box Creative Director of Whiskymaking said: “The 2026 release is unmistakably Hedonism, but this year's expression is richer, darker and more intense than previous editions, it is also the first time we have used an old sherry component in Hedonism, which brings a new flavor perspective to our original and most iconic whisky.

"Working with Emma and Karen to bring the label to life was a fantastic experience - seeing the different forms of artistry blending together and our whiskymaking process mirroring art. Karen as our Muse truly is the Hedonism woman brought to life.”

Compass Box's Hedonism 2026 will be available for pre-order at www.masterofmalt.com on the 24th February exclusively, with general release from 1 March 2026 |£90 46% ABV 70cl. Your bottle will be on of 13,126 bottles available worldwide.

Finding Good Teashops and Coffee Shops: A Practical Guide for Proper Brew Lovers

There’s something quietly reassuring about a good teashop or coffee shop. 

Whether you’re seeking a perfectly brewed pot of Assam, a flat white with velvety microfoam, or simply a warm corner to gather your thoughts, the right place makes all the difference.

But how do you separate the genuinely good from the merely convenient?

Here’s a practical guide to finding spots that are worth your time (and your money).

1. Start With the Brew Itself

A good café or tearoom should take its drinks seriously.

In Teashops

Look for:

Loose-leaf options rather than only bagged blends

Clear information about origin (Darjeeling, Assam, Ceylon, Japanese green, etc.)

Proper teapots and strainers

Milk served separately

If a place advertises “afternoon tea”, check whether they actually know their teas or if it’s simply about the cake stand.

In Coffee Shops

Watch for:

Beans sourced from known roasters

Baristas who weigh and time their shots

Clean machines and well-maintained grinders

Milk that’s textured, not scalded

A good flat white shouldn’t taste burnt or bitter.

2. Pay Attention to Atmosphere

A truly good spot has an identity.

Are people lingering, chatting, reading? Or is it just a quick turnover counter?

Some places have become institutions because of this welcoming character:

Bettys Café Tea Rooms https://www.bettys.co.uk/cafe-tea-rooms

Elegant, traditional, and meticulous about tea service. A benchmark for classic British tearoom culture.

The Attendant https://attendantcoffee.com/pages/locations

A quirky London coffee shop set in a converted Victorian lavatory — proof that atmosphere can elevate a simple cup of coffee into an experience.

You don’t need grand heritage or novelty architecture — but you do want somewhere that feels intentional.

3. Check the Cake (It Tells You Everything)

The counter is revealing.

Are cakes clearly homemade?

Is there a seasonal element?

Are scones fresh, not dry?

If a place cuts corners on baking, it often cuts corners on brewing too.

4. Look Beyond the High Street Chains

Chains aren’t automatically bad — consistency can be reassuring — but independent places often offer more character and better sourcing.

In the UK, you’ll find quality in both national names and smaller operators:

Caffè Nero

Costa Coffee

Tea Room at Fortnum & Mason

Each offers a different experience — from dependable espresso to refined afternoon tea service.

5. Use Reviews — But Read Between the Lines

Five stars mean little without context.

Instead, look for:

Comments about friendly staff

Mentions of clean facilities

Praise for specific drinks

Repeat visitors

If locals keep returning, that’s usually a good sign.

6. Trust Your Instincts

Sometimes you walk in and immediately feel at ease. The lighting is right. The cups feel solid. There's an attractive smell of coffee in the air. The music isn’t intrusive. The staff greet you properly.

That instinct matters.

7. Turn It Into a Ritual

Finding good teashops and coffee shops isn’t just about caffeine. It’s about slowing down.

Make a habit of:

Trying one new independent café per month

Ordering something different each visit

Supporting local businesses

You may discover a hidden gem just off the high street.

Final Thoughts

A good teashop or coffee shop isn’t defined by trendiness or Instagram aesthetics. It’s defined by care — care in brewing, care in baking, care in hospitality.

And once you find one that gets it right, you’ll return not just for the drink… but for the feeling.

That's Food and Drink Presents Lunar New Year Grazing Party Ideas: Easy Hosting Guide

Host a vibrant Lunar New Year grazing party with symbolic dishes, red and gold styling, easy prep tips and drink ideas. 

Create a festive sharing table full of luck and flavour.

A Lunar New Year grazing party is a relaxed, sociable way to celebrate renewal, prosperity and togetherness. 

Instead of a formal meal, create a vibrant table filled with symbolic bite-sized dishes that guests can enjoy at their own pace.

1. Choose Symbolic Foods

Include dishes associated with luck and abundance:

Dumplings (wealth)

Spring rolls (prosperity)

Long noodles (longevity)

Oranges or mandarins (good fortune)

Sesame balls or rice cakes (sweet success)

Keep everything easy to pick up and share.

2. Style with Red and Gold

Use a red runner, gold accents and layered platters for height. Bamboo steamers, small dipping bowls and festive lanterns add atmosphere and authenticity.

3. Keep Hosting Simple

Prep fruit, sauces and cold dishes ahead of time. Steam or bake dumplings just before guests arrive. High-quality frozen options can save time without compromising flavour.

4. Offer Thoughtful Drinks

Serve jasmine tea, sparkling water with citrus, or a simple prosecco and orange juice mix for a celebratory touch.

5. Add Interactive Details

Red envelopes with chocolate coins, a zodiac quiz or small explanation cards beside dishes make the evening more engaging.

Final Tip

Focus on warmth, generosity and shared experience. A beautifully arranged grazing table filled with meaningful flavours creates a festive centrepiece and sets the tone for a prosperous year ahead.

Valentine’s Plans Ruined? How to Save the Day with a Romantic Home Event, Instead

Bad weather. Flu. Sprained ankle. A streaming cold. Travel delays. A last-minute cancellation.

Whatever’s derailed your Valentine’s plans, it doesn’t have to derail the romance.

In fact, staying in can be more intimate, more personal, and far less stressful than fighting for restaurant reservations or braving icy pavements or sudden less-than-seasonal snowstorms. 

Here’s how to turn a disappointing situation into a cosy, memorable home celebration.

Step 1: Reset the Mood (Fast)

First, draw a line under the disappointment.

Tidy the main living area quickly (don’t deep clean — just declutter).

Dim the lights.

Light candles or switch on fairy lights.

Put on a favourite playlist.

Atmosphere matters more than extravagance. A warm glow and soft music can transform an ordinary evening into something special.

Step 2: Create a Simple but Special Menu

You don’t need a complicated three-course masterpiece — especially if someone isn’t feeling 100%.

Easy but Romantic Ideas:

Steak and chips with peppercorn sauce

Creamy mushroom pasta with garlic bread

Homemade pizza with favourite toppings

A grazing board with cheeses, crackers, fruit and chocolate

If cooking feels like too much, elevate what you have:

Order a takeaway and plate it nicely.

Use proper plates and glasses.

Add a small dessert like strawberries and cream or chocolate brownies.

It’s not about culinary perfection. It’s about sharing the moment.

Step 3: Turn It into an “Event”

Instead of just “having dinner”, give the evening a theme.

1. Indoor Picnic

Lay a blanket on the floor. Add cushions. Serve finger foods. Open a bottle of wine or sparkling water.

2. Home Cinema Night

Choose a romantic classic or a favourite comfort film. Dim the lights, make popcorn, and agree to put phones away.

3. At-Home Spa Evening

If poor health is the issue, lean into rest and recovery:

Warm towels

Gentle back or hand massage

Herbal tea

Face masks

Romance doesn’t have to mean high energy. Sometimes it means looking after each other.

Step 4: Add a Personal Touch

This is where home wins over restaurants.

Write a short handwritten note.

Share three things you appreciate about each other.

Recreate your first date meal.

Look through old photos together.

A little thoughtfulness goes much further than a crowded dining room ever could.

Step 5: Keep Expectations Real

If illness is involved, adjust the tone. You don’t need glamour. You need comfort.

Swap heels for slippers.

Trade champagne for hot chocolate.

Keep it early and relaxed.

Valentine’s isn’t about perfection. It’s about connection.

Why Staying In Can Be Better

When plans fall apart, it’s easy to feel frustrated. But some of the most meaningful evenings happen unexpectedly.

At home:

There’s no rush.

No loud tables next to you.

No taxi stress.

No late bus vanished from the timetable.

No pressure.

Just time together.

Final Thought

If bad weather or poor health has disrupted your Valentine’s plans, consider it an opportunity rather than a disaster.

Light the candles. Put the kettle on. Plate up whatever you’ve got.

Romance isn’t cancelled — it’s just moved indoors.

Chinese New Year: Celebrating with Food You Can Cook at Home

Chinese New Year, also known as Lunar New Year or Spring Festival, is one of the most important celebrations in the Chinese calendar. 

It’s a time for fresh starts, family gatherings and, most importantly, food that symbolises luck, prosperity and togetherness.

You don’t need to book a restaurant or master professional wok skills to mark the occasion. 

With a bit of planning, it’s easy to bring the spirit of Chinese New Year into your own kitchen using dishes that are achievable, comforting and perfect for sharing.

Why Food Matters at Chinese New Year

Food during Chinese New Year isn’t just about flavour – it’s packed with meaning. Many dishes are chosen because their names, shapes or ingredients symbolise good fortune, wealth, happiness or longevity. Meals are usually shared family-style, reinforcing togetherness and generosity as the new year begins.

Classic Chinese New Year Dishes You Can Make at Home

Dumplings (Jiaozi)

Dumplings are a Chinese New Year staple, especially in northern China. Their shape resembles ancient gold ingots, making them a symbol of wealth and prosperity.

At home tip:

Use shop-bought dumpling wrappers and fill them with pork and cabbage, chicken, prawns, or a simple vegetable mix. Pan-fry for crispy bottoms or boil for a softer finish.

Spring Rolls

Golden and crisp, spring rolls represent wealth because they resemble gold bars. They’re also one of the most familiar Chinese dishes for UK home cooks.

At home tip:

Fill with shredded vegetables, beansprouts and cooked chicken or prawns. Oven-baking works well if you’d prefer less oil.

Longevity Noodles

Long noodles symbolise a long and healthy life. Traditionally, they shouldn’t be cut before cooking.

At home tip:

Stir-fry egg or wheat noodles with vegetables, soy sauce and sesame oil. Add prawns, chicken or tofu for a complete dish.

Steamed Fish

Fish symbolises abundance and surplus, as the Chinese word for fish sounds like the word for “extra” or “left over”.

At home tip:

Steam a whole sea bass or bream with ginger, spring onions and soy sauce. Serve it whole for tradition, or use fillets if that feels more approachable.

Easy Sides and Extras

Stir-fried greens such as pak choi or Chinese broccoli for balance

Mushrooms for good fortune and earthiness

Egg-fried rice to use up leftovers and stretch the meal

Simple dipping sauces made from soy sauce, rice vinegar and chilli oil

These dishes round out the table and make the meal feel generous without adding stress.

Sweet Treats for Good Luck

Tangyuan (Sweet Rice Balls)

These glutinous rice balls, often filled with sesame or peanut paste, symbolise family unity.

Shortcut idea:

Buy frozen tangyuan from an Asian supermarket and serve them in a light ginger syrup.

Sesame Balls

Crispy on the outside with a chewy centre, sesame balls represent wealth and happiness.

Mandarin Oranges

Not really a dessert, but essential. Oranges symbolise good luck and prosperity and are often given as gifts.

Hosting a Chinese New Year Meal at Home

You don’t need a huge spread. Choose one or two symbolic main dishes, add a couple of sides and finish with something sweet. Red napkins, candles or a simple centrepiece can nod to tradition without overdoing it. Most importantly, cook with the idea of sharing – Chinese New Year food is meant to be enjoyed together.

A Celebration Anyone Can Enjoy

Cooking Chinese New Year food at home is about more than following tradition perfectly. It’s about welcoming the new year with warmth, generosity and a table full of comforting, meaningful dishes. Whether you cook one dish or an entire feast, it’s a lovely excuse to slow down, eat well and celebrate fresh beginnings.

Tired of Tacos? Bored of Fancy Foreign Snacks? Get Down with Proper British Isles Comfort Food!

Don’t get me wrong, tacos have their moment. But if you’ve reached peak tortilla, and yet another packet of imported “artisan” snacks has left you cold (and oddly skint), it might be time to come home. Right home. To the comforting, beige-leaning, utterly dependable snacks and comfort foods of the British Isles.

Because when it comes to proper satisfaction, Britain, Ireland, Scotland and Wales quietly deliver.

The Joy of Familiar Flavours

There’s something deeply reassuring about snacks you recognise instantly. No ingredient list that reads like a chemistry exam. No need to Google pronunciation. Just solid, time-tested food that knows exactly what it’s doing.

Think:

Warm, filling

Salty, buttery, savoury

Designed to keep you going through drizzle, graft, and general life fatigue

This is food that doesn’t try too hard — and that’s precisely the point.

Snack Classics That Never Let You Down

When hunger strikes between meals, the British Isles have been sorting it out for generations:

Scotch eggs – Portable perfection. Crispy coating, seasoned meat, proper egg. What more do you want?

Sausage rolls – Flaky pastry + well-seasoned pork = national treasure.

Cheese and crackers – Especially with a strong Cheddar or crumbly Lancashire.

Welsh rarebit – Toast, but make it bold. Cheesy, mustardy, deeply comforting.

Pork pies – Cold, firm, unapologetic. Ideal for lunchboxes, picnics or midnight fridge raids.

And don't forget pickled eggs, pickled onions, Worcestershire Sauce, Piccalilli to add a "wow!" factor to your British snacking.  

No gimmicks. Just food that gets the job done.

Comfort Foods That Hug You Back

If snacks are the warm handshake, comfort food is the full embrace:

Beans on toast – Laugh all you like; it’s cheap, filling, and endlessly customisable.

Mash and gravy – Works with sausages, pies, or on its own when life feels unfair.

Fish and chips – Still unbeatable when done right. Vinegar mandatory.

Irish soda bread with butter – Simple, hearty, and astonishingly satisfying.

Shepherd’s pie – Savoury mince, creamy mash, baked till golden. No passport required.

These dishes don’t chase trends — they outlast them.

Why We Keep Coming Back to British Food

There’s a reason these foods endure:

They’re affordable

They’re filling

They suit real life, real weather, and real appetites

While novelty snacks come and go, British Isles comfort food sticks around because it works. It feeds families. It fills lunchboxes. It keeps pubs, cafés and kitchens ticking over.

And honestly? Sometimes a sausage roll is exactly what you need — not a fermented chilli crisp flown halfway round the world.

So Next Time You’re Snack-Shopping…

Before reaching for another over-hyped foreign treat, pause. Look closer to home. There’s a Scotch egg waiting. A slab of cheese begging to be sliced. A pot of mash that will absolutely improve your day.

Turns out you don’t need fancy.

You just need proper.

National Allotment Society announces ‘Grow to Learn’ theme for National Allotments Week 2026

The National Allotment Society (NAS) has today announced the exciting theme for National Allotments Week 2026, taking place from 10–16 August 2026.

The new theme, Grow to Learn – Lifelong lessons from the allotment, will celebrate the educational, personal development, and well-being benefits of allotment gardening for people of all ages.

The theme highlights how allotments function as living classrooms, where learning happens through hands-on experience, shared knowledge, and connection with the natural world. Alongside practical growing skills, allotment gardening nurtures wider life skills including patience, resilience, curiosity, problem-solving, and teamwork, and, of course, physical wellbeing and food security, too.

Through time spent on the plot, individuals learn to adapt to challenges, understand seasonal change, and develop confidence and wellbeing alongside their crops. These informal learning experiences often span generations, making allotments unique spaces for lifelong learning, community connection, and personal growth.

By focusing on Grow to Learn, the National Allotment Society aims to reframe allotments not just as places to grow food, but as dynamic learning environments that support personal growth, mental and physical wellbeing, and food security.

National Allotments Week 2026 will feature a national digital campaign sharing stories and reflections from allotment holders and ambassadors, highlighting the many ways allotments act as living classrooms and places of continual learning.

Further details about National Allotments Week 2026 activities, resources, and opportunities to get involved will be announced in due course.

National Allotments Week takes place from 10–16 August 2026.

The National Allotment Society (NAS) is the UK’s leading organisation representing more allotment holders and leisure gardeners. NAS provides advice, guidance, and advocacy to support people in growing their own food, improving their well-being, and connecting with their communities.

With a nationwide network of 130,000 members, volunteers, and ambassadors, NAS works to make allotments engaging, inclusive, and rewarding — supporting physical and mental well-being, social connection, and environmental awareness through the simple act of growing.
