Miami Club Rum, a premium rum made and produced in Miami has just launched early this year and is already the toast of the town, gaining fans and garnering awards by the shot.

Adhering to tradition seems to be going well for Malone.

Sophisticated Indian Flavours at Zaika Restaurant, London (OneTravel)
Head chef Navin Prasad’s kitchen delivers refined and delicate dishes that nonetheless check the boxes for filling and yummy. Case in point is the hearty yet dainty starter, pan-seared spiced scallops with sautéed cavolo nero and pumpkin sauce.
