Cocktail of the Day
5th of December 2025
Today is Repeal Day, so we are drinking a Autumn Leaves.
Elf On The Shelf
Elf (elderflower liqueur), On (orange liqueur), The (tequila), Shelf (sherry) is for naughty elves to share while planning mischievous enactments. Judicious
Improved Scotch Cocktail
A tad heavier on the 'improving' liqueur element than some other Improved Scotch Cocktails, but this is balanced by doses of bitters, and a little richness
After Midnight
A bittersweet, orange and maraschino-influenced riff on a Rob Roy.
Jersey Lightning
A brandy and apple brandy-based Sweet Manhattan.
Nova Scotia
Nova Scotia is Latin for New Scotland and this cocktail presents Scotch whisky in a contemporary take on an Old Fashioned.
Golden Mojito
The rum's character shines in this rustic, Cuban-styled Mojito.
Banana Calling
This short, sharp cocktail is best described as a Banana & Fino Sherry Gin Sour. The fino and banana notes are subtle, so subtle that it is not obviously
Pisco Kid
This short pisco-based spirituous stirred cocktail was inspired by memories of Nestle's Milkybars and the 1980s British TV ads featuring the Milkybar Kid
Cherry Sour
Sweet and sour cherry with bittersweet vanilla.
Queen Street Cocktail
Daiquiri-like, delicately sour and, helped by the garnish, wonderfully aromatic.
Hunter
A spirit-forward, bourbon-laced, late-night sipper with rich cherry. (Traditionally served straight-up in a coupe, but it's better served over ice.)
Symposium
A Greek-influenced riff on the Port & Brandy classic English classic, which, among those who drink it, is known by the nickname Randy.
Cassis Crush
Fruity, refreshing, low-alcohol and easy-drinking
I'm a Baliva
Savoury and delicately bitter with cleansing acidity. A cocktail to challenge conventions.
Honey Aperitif Daiquiri
Bittersweet and sweet 'n' sour honey, delicately fortified with rum.
Saturn
A Tiki-influenced frozen gin sour with passion fruit and almond.
Lucien Gaudin
A vintage French riff on a Negroni. This cocktail is perhaps better, certainly easier drinking when served on-the-rocks.
