Whatcha gonna do with all that white powder?

Escaping from the historical re-enactment area of the drinks cabinet, this alcoholic honey brew is crossing into the mainstream. It sweetens a warming toddy-style mix of calvados and cider at Reverend JW Simpson in Fitzrovia, and – the surest sign that it's becoming cool – an artisan producer has started making it in a London flat. Get yourself a bottle of Gosnell's London Mead for a Christmas tipple with a difference.
With a 9.2% abv this porter is aged in whiskey barrels, and in my humble opinion is a damn fine nod to Hunter S. Thompson.
