FOOD EDITION
With a nectar-like appearance and super- smooth consistency, if you are looking to sweeten up your summer cocktail, we recommend Nelson’s Gold Caramel Vodka Liqueur. Forget that nasty vodka burn; this delicious concoction – combining the spirit with handmade caramel – goes down a treat with a flavour profile boasting darker notes and a mellow sweetness which isn’t too overpowering. We like ours served simply over ice, but Nelson’s Gold works well as a mixer to a host of cocktails – caramel vodka martini anyone? If you’re feeling truly decadent, cool down in these summer months by splashing some over a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Yum! Made with love in the heart of Norfolk (hence the name), this much-loved spirit hails from Wild Knight Distillery and is made using the finest local ingredients. You can order online or find these distinctive bottles stocked at English Heritage sites throughout Cambridgeshire, including Duxford Chapel, Denny Abbey and Isleham Priory Church. Spoonful of sugar
TRAVELS OF TASTE If your summer holidays are lacking in adventurous travels to far-flung destinations, then fear not; Kibou Japanese Kitchen & Bar promises to whisk you away on a culinary adventure through its latest campaign. Running until the end of October, Passport to Japan will see the restaurant focus on a different region of the country each month, with a range of food and drink specials which tap into each area. The menu is designed to celebrate the heritage behind a variety of regional dishes, such as unaju (grilled eel in a box that originates from one of Tokyo’s oldest eel restaurants) or tendon (the tempura rice bowls served throughout the capital) with a signature twist in each destination. At Kibou Cambridge, they will be served with either softshell crab, ebi (prawn), yasai (vegetables) or all three! Whatever your choice of dish, these can be washed down with a matching range of cocktails, courtesy of Japanese spirits group House of Suntory, along with some top tips of where to visit and what to eat in each area, presented by the restaurant’s own team. Best of all, diners can try their luck at winning a Feast of Japan worth up to £300, with a menu including a selection of the Passport to Japan food and drink specials. To throw your hat in the ring, pick up a physical passport at the restaurant to get stamped with each visit, or log onto the restaurant’s Wi-Fi to obtain a digital stamp. The person with the most stamps over the campaign period will then be selected as the winner.
