A brand new collection of drinks has just launched at Redlight in Manchester as part of their latest menu. If you haven’t been yet, this is your sign to go. And if you’re heading to NRB, you now know where to stop while you’re in the city.

A few stills from the Margarita Mile in Manchester.
Shot across two afternoons, hopping between some of the city’s finest bars.

Throwing it back to a project from a few years ago.
I was on the road capturing content for the first-ever International Drinks Competition with Mathieu Teisseire.
Multiple cities. Multiple countries. One intense week.
Packed light, moved fast, and captured both photo and video each day adapting on the fly as we travelled.
It was more than a competition. It was an immersive, global experience rooted in flavour, creativity, and the bartending community, and a reminder of how much I enjoy working this way. Travelling relatively lean, staying flexible, and telling stories across borders.

The House of Suntory Dojo Comp wrapped up last year with a day of inspiring voices sharing stories on Japan, whisky, and culture. Bartenders then took to the bar to present their Kaizen Classics, refined since the Dojima House workshops. Photographed and filmed as part of a long-standing creative partnership with Raff, House of Suntory and the Global Bartending team.

Stop 10: STERLING, The Stock Exchange Hotel
Next on the Christmas cocktail trail is STERLING, the beautifully dim, elegant hotel bar that knows exactly how to set a mood. Here I was served one of the best festive drinks I’ve ever had. The Hot & Cold Toddy, created and served by Nick behind the bar.
Trying to explain the brilliance of this drink or how on earth it’s made, wouldn’t do it justice. You’ll just have to head down and experience it yourself.
Onwards.

A little BTS from our latest cover shoot with Bar Glue in Liverpool for Class Magazine. Loved how the whole team threw themselves into it, no holding back. Such a brilliant day with an even better bunch of people.

Stop 9: Stow
Next up is Stow, where the front bar is wonderfully intimate, the kind of spot that feels made for a pre-dinner drink and a bit of calm before the evening unfolds.
Here, Ciara served their twist on an El Presidente, made with Zacapa Rum.
Another festive stop complete.
