Cocktail of the Day
26th of August 2025

Today is The day a new colour transformed science, so we are drinking a Parma Violet Spritz.

Snyder Martini

A 2:1 Dry Martini but with a splash of orange curaçao mellowing the dryness and adding more subtle complexity than orange bitters.

Odessa

Spirit-forward and bittersweet with the tang of arrack, laced with gin. Perhaps best served on-the-rocks as an arrack-influenced riff on a Negroni.

A Farewell to Arms No. 1

Wakey, wakey! Fernet replaces rum in this falernum-influenced Daiquiri-like cocktail to enliven your taste buds.

Mexico Navy

A tequila-based riff on the gin-based Army & Navy with a hint of ginger heat.

Lumière

A floral elderflower-influenced riff on a Last Word.

Alfa-Romeo

Mayfair No. 2

Gin-laced with clove spice, apricot and orange fruitiness.

Melon Collie Martini

Something of a holiday disco drink, but tasty all the same.

Walthall's White Negroni

A bergamot rosolio-influenced riff on a White Negroni.

Episcopal

My favourite way to enjoy Chartreuse. Especially good when made with V.E.P. Chartreuse. Use equal parts of each liqueur or use more of the stronger Green,

Apollo 8

Tequila, vanilla and orange topped with luxuriant cream.

Professional

The Boulevardier goes nuclear. I discovered this cocktail thanks to J. E. Clapham of Clapham Cocktails, who says, This is truly excellent, though it does

Fumosa Rosa

A bittersweet mezcal-based sour, which, as the name suggests, is pink, and depending on your mezcal, delicately smoky.

Split Ends

Sip through layers of bitter stout and Irish whiskey-laced raspberry sour.
