Good times are plenty at Hong Kong gastropub The Diplomat, where owner-bartender John Nugent has perfected a winning formula of straightforward classics, addictive pub grub, and all-American hospitality to the delight of drinkers both casual and serious.
In the second instalment of our 'Through The Stirring Glass' six-part series, we take a look back at three cocktails that have guided his bartending career, from a malleable classic to crowd-pleasing coffee drink, all of which help him connect with his guests on a deeper level.
