This week we are featuring David Anderson from Edinburgh (@home_sweet_spirits) as he features the ‘Gold Rush.’
From David’s IG: This cocktail is another that led me to enjoy a bourbon cocktail, just like the paper plane.
50ml Bourbon
20ml Lemon juice
20ml 3:1 Honey syrup
Garnish - Lemon peel discarded
A great gateway into enjoying bourbon cocktails! Give it a try if you haven’t already.

Story-5:: SNKR News - Some Buzz, Some Hype
Overview: In an op-ed from Business of Fashion, the publication reported that sneakerheads have “largely dismissed the $400 Nike Air Force 1 Low Tiffany & Co. 1837 shoes. Siting that the “partnership failed on multiple levels,” claiming that there “was no authentic synergy between the two brands, no discernable rationale for the collaboration other than two corporate juggernauts wanting to generate marketing buzz.”
