CHARLES RENNIE MACKINTOSH is revered as a great architect, but his claim to fame as an environmentalist is not often heard. There’s one room in his masterpiece, the Glasgow School of Art, where I think the latter claim is thoroughly sustainable: the library.
This is no dry, dusty, secluded place; rather, Mackintosh created an environment that comes alive through endless tensions between juxtaposed elements.

TASTEMAKER EMILIO GIOVANAZZI
The first time Emilio Giovanazzi was asked to create a cocktail list, he was working in Paperinos, the beloved but now-closed Italian restaurant in Glasgow that belonged to his uncle. “It was a great place, and it would consistently win awards for its wine list,” he recalls. As the city’s eating habits evolved, they needed to think of a way to attract a younger crowd. Emilio's dad (who owned La Parmigiana restaurant), figured cocktails was the answer. “He went to a charity shop and picked up the first cocktail book he could find,” says Emilio. “And it happened to be The Savoy Cocktail Book.”
