Published by Daniella Wilson

The creators of the new Masters of the Universe movie really, really, want to let you know that they’re in on the joke. They know deep down, or at least they should know, that their juvenile material is only suitable for children or overgrown adolescents with a terminal case of childhood nostalgia. So director Travis Knight (Bumblebee, Kubo and the Two Strings) and his quartet of screenwriters have loaded the proceedings with so much campy, self-referential humor that you don’t know whether to laugh or cry. The film winds up feeling so much like one of those fringe festival musical theater parodies that you find yourself waiting for the characters to burst into song. All of this might go over well with the fanbase who grew up playing with the Mattel toys and subsequently immersed themselves in the myriad product spin-offs, including comic books and an animated television series, that followed in their wake.

This drink is full of ginger spice and aromatics from both the honey and the London dry gin. The fresher it is, the better, so don’t keep the syrup for longer than two days. I’m pretty particular about citrus shelf life, too, so always squeeze it fresh and never keep it overnight or, heaven forbid, even longer. Bumblebee Serves 1 For the honey and ginger syrup20g gingerAbout 40ml English honey – ideally one that’s local to you For the drink10ml honey and ginger syrup – see above and method20ml fresh lemon juice40ml London dry gin – we use Hayman’s1 thick slice lemon (about ½cm thick), to garnish First make the syrup.
