Drinks at Chatsworth, Derbyshire with Michael Smith
A liqueur used in the ratification of contracts, called 'ratafia' is one of the 18th-century drinks sampled by Arthur Negus and his guest, television cook Michael Smith.
They discuss the paraphernalia of drinking in the 18th century in the setting of the great dining-room of Chatsworth House, and discover how to 'crack open' a bottle of port.
