Cocktail of the Day
29 July 2026

Today is National Lipstick Day, so we are drinking a Optimist.

Daiquiri (on-the-rocks)

Light and refreshing. No one flavour predominates - sweet and sourness in harmony with spirituous rum.

Filthy Dirty Martini

The transition from a mere Dirty Martini to a Filthy Dirty Martini isn't so much about more olive brine but the addition of lime juice. This introduces

Dry Martini 'Preferred' (5:1 ratio)

This is my go-to Dry Martini. I chose a 5:1 ratio as our 'preferred' Dry Martini specification in deference to David Embury who writes of this cocktail

Pickleback Fizz

The Pickleback shot reimagined as a tall, refreshing fizz.

Pickleball

Vodka-laced, spiced pickle soda.

Pickled Hugo

A savoury riff on the floral Hugo Spritz.

20 best Tequila cocktails

With its earthy herbaceous flavours, tequila makes for both a versatile and characterful base spirit in cocktails. Contemporary pairings with tequila include

Twin Six

A Million Dollar Cocktail, but with zesty orange juice in place of pineapple juice. The result is fresher and more cleansing, fitting the aperitivo moment

Jake Walk

Tulane

Tulane Aperitif

Adapted from the classic Tulane cocktail with Chambreyzette aperitif in place of strawberry liqueur.

Tulane Martini

A Fifty-Fifty-style, delicately strawberry-influenced Martini, adapted from the classic Tulane cocktail with Chambreyzette aperitif in place of the original

Raspberry Vodkatini

Intense, vodka-laced raspberry fruitiness. (If using a sweetened puree then reduce the volume of sugar syrup.)

Gherky Martini

Brilliant, when served in a frozen Martini glass to accompany a Fish 'n' Chip takeaway.

Gherky'tini

A Vodka Martini 'dirtied' with pickled gherkin brine.

Summer Rosé Cup

A refreshing rosé vermouth-based riff on a Pimm's Cup.

Difford's Fruit Cup No.1 (gin based & Pimm's Cup-like)

This long, refreshing, fruity cocktail mimics the characteristics of a Pimm's Cup but with the punch and fullness flavour, reminiscent of distant decades
