Launched at the end of last year, Swift is the latest project from Bobby Hiddleston and Mia Johansoon, having partnered with husband and wife duo Rosie Stimpson and Edmund Weil – the team behind Nightjar and Oriole. In the heart of Soho, the venue is a statement bar that focuses on serving an elegant, grown-up cocktail offering. A number of traditional serves with a contemporary twist are on offer, with prominent leanings towards favouring dark spirits. What’s more, the bar is also equipped with a refined whisky library, showcasing a number of “interesting but affordable” whiskies.
This week’s cocktail recipe, for instance, is available from Swift and incorporates Woodford Reserve Bourbon with Sauternes dessert wine, absinthe, lemon, peach and honey.
