episode 101: How To Be A Surgeon & A Nurse At The Same Time with Mia Johansson, Bar Swift, London, Part 1
We are beginning Lush Life Season 3 with a guest who somehow manages to be a surgeon and a nurse all at the same time. To be a great surgeon you need absolute precision and knowledge of your craft and to be a great nurse you need compassion, warmth and patience.
Mia Johansson combined these attributes in a mixing glass and out came Bar Swift. Determining who wants or needs to be hugged and/or a martini is an art and Mia has mastered it.
She has been Imbibe’s Personality of the Year Award, trained at Hix and Milk & Honey, and of course co-owner of Bar Swift in Soho - which by the way is one of the fifty best bars in the world, according to drinks international magazine and anyone else who’s ever had their sgroppino.
If you want to know what Mia’s favorite bars are in Stockholm, you’ll have to wait until the not-so bitter end.
Our Cocktail of the Week is the Piccolina - just like surgeons and nurses work together - here, port and sherry are collaborating to make an assume cocktail.
