Finding a good bar, and even better a great bartender is no easy task, but at Shiftdrink we are committed to exploring the city in search of “Nirvana” leaving no bar untouched and hopefully along the way making new friends.

For this week’s installment, we visited Soho and here is what we drank:

THE BAZOOKA
At Tailor, the brainchild of former WD-50 pastry guru Sam Mason, they take mixology to a futuristic level applying concepts of molecular gastronomy to their drink menu (curated by wünderkind bartender Eben Freeman).
