History

Created in 2017 by James Cunningham at Hawksmoor (Seven Dials), London, England. James says, "My head bartender told me that, much to her surprise, super pungent ingredients like Suze and peated scotch were actually great bedfellows. And so began the romance of Suze and peat.

When we put the drink up on the blackboard at Hawksmoor Seven Dials, it simply read: "Suze & Peat by Jim Cunningham", this made it sound like a) I authored a children's book and b) that it was definitely one with a happy ending. Suze and peat are a baller couple. The resultant drink is an amazing, strange mix of bitter and fresh palate cleansing flavours, the cucumber, tarragon, and lime really help to accent Suze's green, grassier notes but don't remove anything from that distinctive bitter kick."

Holly Molly! I was looking for a cocktail with tarragon syrup and this beauty is perfection. I used a Lagavulin 16 as the peaty malt.
