Although I'm not a fan of alcoholic beverages, I have to confess that Constança Cordeiro's work sparks my curiosity! The cocktails she creates at her bars Toca da Raposa and Uni , both in Lisbon, combine spirits distilled by them and seasonal ingredients (harvested by the team!), in a menu that changes regularly, according to the seasons – just like a good restaurant, for me, does with food. In addition, Constança creates drinks for other bars and restaurants and also has a podcast – No Floating Ice . There's a lot to learn about her and the things she creates and that inspire her, and now one more thing, in today's From the Inside Out. I hope you enjoy it!
