Ingredients
- with the towering punch of Western spirits. To me, the cocktail kitchen was one in which food ingredients took precedence. Herbs, spices, fruits and syrups were not the tail wagging the dog, but the dog, the absolute dog. This to me was justification for the development of the Mowgli Cocktail Cage. Within it, I must always be shackled to that which is at
- the heart of Mowgli – the clever use of good ingredients. It does, however, make us outward facing and gives our clients a different dimension in which to enjoy our spice wielding.
- When I first opened Mowgli in Liverpool, a most charismatic and virtuosic cocktail king and friend, Danny Murphy, had the kindness and good grace to guide us through his cocktail runes. He taught us the dark arts of extracting haunting strains from our exotic ingredients and capturing them in fiery spirits, rather in the way that our food captures them in oils and marinades.
