182 Days – Counting Forwards & Backwards – Halfway Checkpoint
Well, today is the one day this year when the staff at Mansion House and I are using the same number of days to mark the Lord Mayor’s term, 182. 26 weeks, with a leap day therein. I’ve been counting up to the mark of 365 days while the joke runs that “the team at Mansion House count in the opposite direction”. In truth, it’s been a great run so far, with fantastic support here at the Mansion House. Do feel free to evaluate the programme yourself – Connect To Prosper, and our May report card.

Chemists claim that alcohol really isn’t a problem, it’s a solution. Here are two to try that the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress composed for the Lord Mayor’s Big Curry Lunch. And try out the Lord Mayor’s Big Curry Masala too …
LORD MAYOR’S COCKTAIL
THE
AMARICONI
A subtle re-styling of the infamous Negroni.
The Amariconi draws on the Lord Mayor’s
multinational heritage and his love of
inventing Italian bitters cocktails.
Maker’s Mark Bourbon Whiskey, Campari,
Cranberry Juice
Stirred through ice, garnished with dry
orange & a cinnamon stick and served
in an Old-Fashioned glass.
THE LADY MAYORESS’S
COCKTAIL
THE
SHUTTLECOQ
With the famous digestif from the Lady
Mayoress’s country of birth as its base,
the Shuttlecoq is a reference to one of
her favourite cocktails and her love of
badminton.
Jägermeister, Kahlua, Double Cream
Shaken & double strained, garnished with
fresh mint & coffee beans and served in a
Martini glass.
