Christopher (of the Beaufort Bar at the Savoy) tells me he invented this fresh, clean drink as a summer alternative to Pimm’s. I can’t wait to offer it when I have parties in my garden in the country — it looks so beautiful, with three kinds of berries trapped between layers of ice.

Until recently, Oates presented a colorful palette, carving wood into memorable sculptures and eventually playful, award-winning marionettes with names like Dunstan the Dragon or Delilah the Unicorn. His latest venture, while still applying his incredible skills in craftsmanship and casting technique, is far more earthen. View More
