Although I'm not a fan of alcoholic drinks, I have to confess that Constança Cordeiro's work arouses my curiosity! The cocktails he creates in his bars Toca da Raposa and Uni , both in Lisbon, combine drinks distilled by them and seasonal ingredients (harvested by the staff!), in a menu that changes regularly, depending on the seasons - just like a good restaurant , for me, it does with food. Furthermore, Constança creates drinks for other bars and restaurants and also has a podcast - No Floating Ice . There is a lot to know about her and the things she creates and inspires her, and now one more, in today's De Dentro Para Fora. I hope you enjoy!
