Easter Martini
A suitably chocolaty martini with indulgent layers of vanilla and caramel. Looks like it's going to be a sweetie, yet it is a proper spirit-forward Martini.
Chocolate Orange Manhattan
Yes, it's a Manhattan with delicate hints of chocolate and orange. A cocktail that properly delivers on its name. If you're looking for a simpler recipe,
Matcha Blond Negroni
A riff on a White Negroni, harnessing the flavour of matcha tea.

Neon Knight
Sherry-based, with bittersweet gentian, mezcal, pineapple and orange.
Disco Sour
Peach liqueur sets this gin and pisco-based sour apart.
Disco Mi-To
A wonderfully complex, vodka-based, Negroni riff.
Tomodachi
Aged grappa adds vanilla and dried fruit notes to this sake-infused, vermouth-rounded, complex cocktail with delicate bittersweet depth of flavour.
Maion Fashion
Bittersweet notes make this aged grappa-based old-fashioned suite the after-dinner moment.
