It’s 6 o’clock: clear your mind of the cares of the day. Relax and fix yourself a drink. It’s The Cocktail Hour.

The moment Tim Hayward started mixing himself an 'attitude adjuster' at the end of the day, his life changed. He realised he was falling in love – with the taste, the image, the ritual and legend, of the cocktail.

The Cocktail Hour celebrates not just the recipes but the stories, feelings and nostalgia that a drink can evoke. You will learn how to make 50 classic and modern drinks carefully, with good ingredients and the right equipment. But more importantly, from Gimlet to Gibson, Manhattan to Margarita, you will be equipped to immerse yourself fully and appreciatively in the ritual.

Achieve inner peace and equilibrium, take pleasure in the glorious moment of that first sip, and join the innumerable artists, writers, statesmen, actors and intellectual titans who, across the centuries, have discovered the profound joy of The Cocktail Hour.

Tim Hayward writes for the Financial Times and is a panellist on BBC Radio 4’s The Kitchen Cabinet. He won the Guild of Food Writers 'Food Journalist of the Year’ award in 2014, 2015 and 2022, and was the Fortnum and Mason Food Writer of the Year for 2014 and 2022. He is the author of Food DIY, The DIY Cook, Knife, The Modern Kitchen, Loaf Story, Charcuterie from Scratch, and Steak.
