Born early this year, Section D is barely out of infancy but already has its feet firm on the ground. Trust you're in good hands, as the drinks are mixed by an editor of a lifestyle publication, who is deeply knowledgeable about alcohol.

Bespoke drinks are a great litmus test for a bartender’s feel for flavours. So I swiftly requested a bespoke when I spotted Empirical’s Fuck Trump and His Stupid Fucking Wall on their shelves. And I gotta say, this beautifully named The Mexicans Are Coming ($20) passed with flying colours. 

Unapologetically Mexican with the Habanero-tinged base spirit mixed with Mezcal, but jazzed up with layers of sweetness from the grapefruit and honey to give some balance. A smart mix of flavours with a sound idea behind it.
