Hospitality runs in @Giorgio_Bar_Giani’s blood. Coming from Pisa, Italy, where he got his start at his family’s restaurant, Bargiani joined the lauded @TheConnaught Bar in London in 2014. Today, he serves as the Assistant Director of Mixology, with his creativity and influence extending to the global bar scene, evidenced by his award for International Bartender of the Year in 2023 at the Tales of the Cocktail’s Spirited Awards. The most recent manifestation of his passion for the profession is his own glassware line, Bar/Giani, created in collaboration with @NudeGlass. Over at imbibemagazine.com, Bargiani talks about the collection, his approach to hospitality, and the undeniable impact of a beautiful cocktail glass—link in our bio.

In Coastal, a travelogue/cookbook that celebrates California’s Central Coast, @ChefScottClark, with Imbibe contributor @BetsyAndrews, highlights the dishes and drinks that can be found from his home in Half Moon Bay to the Channel Islands. His recipe for horchata paletas, inspired by the sweet rice drink found in coastal taquerias, is a cinch to make. “Just don’t forgo the cheesecloth because that extra filter helps you nail a silky texture,” he writes.
