Ian Burrell, global rum ambassador, on what makes a great bartender and his Sydney Bar Week visit

He’s recognised as the global rum ambassador, and has championed the good stuff for as long as we can remember. Burrell recently won the title of International Brand Ambassador of the Year award at Tales of the Cocktail’s Spirited Awards, and is one the globe’s great rum educators (he’s also the guy who started the UK RumFest).

Here’s our fave Mexico City bars and restaurants for a layover

Mexico City is the seat of the federal government in Mexico, and it’s the country’s largest city — one of the largest in the world. It’s chaotic, traffic clogs the roads and the road rules, if there are any, don’t seem to apply to anyone. It’s beautiful, ancient, gritty and bold.

And it offers up some great drinking and eating.
