Cocktail of the month
Here’s a generous, elegantly pale pink treat for Valentine’s night. “Go for a bigger coupe,” says the brilliant Alice Lascelles of her adapted Cuban classic in her latest book, The Cocktail Edit (Quadrille £16.99). The reason? “It comes up quite big.” Perhaps this is because it was invented (at El Floridita) in honour of bar propper-upper Ernest Hemingway.
