Entries to 2023 Hayman's Old Tom, New Cocktail Competition

Cale Street Calling

Fresh, crisp and piquant.

Smokey Tom

A balance between the smoked flavours of the lapsang tea, the orange bitter and the herbals flavours of the old tom gin. Cheers !

Hay Hay Man

Designed as a take on a Vesper / Martinez Hybrid showcasing both Hayman's Old Tom Gin and Hayman's Sloe Gin

Garden Grove

Old Tom's Banoffee

Since the Old Tom Gin is sweeter then the "regular" London Dry I wanted to make a "After Dinner" style of cocktail for the Hayman's

You may thinks this is an very sweet drink with orget and the liquors but it is very well balanced with just a hint of that star of anise and licorish

Beware of amount of ginger juice add into the mix, keep it balance or distasteful.
