Cocktail of the Day
1 May 2026

Today is May Day, so we are drinking a Mayflower Martini.

Sand Martin

Complex and herbal with cleansing gin botanicals.

Yucatán Margarita

A totally tropical Margarita, with pineapple and mango.

Bermondsey Minute

Tequila and lavender are a match made in heaven, made more complex with herbal wine notes from the vermouth and aromatised by delicately fruity maraschino

Rye and Dry

As the name suggests, the authentic recipe is just rye whiskey and dry vermouth with a dash of orange bitters. This should perhaps be renamed Rye & Bone

Meek Margarita

Convincingly reminiscent of a Margarita.

Saronno

Creamy brandy-laced amaretto. What's not to like?

Zombie

Powerful funky rum and delicate cinnamon spice, partially tamed by rich fruit and sweetened clove. Arriving at a definitive Zombie is not straightforward

Muddled Mission

An easy-drinking, gin-laced sour with strawberry, elderflower and delicate herbal notes.

Sloe Vermouth

Although the recipe may suggest it, don't be tempted to express a lemon zest twist over this sweet 'n' sour cocktail, as the citrus oils will upset this

Sloe Kiss

A close relation to the Slow Screw family of cocktails. Very fruity and slightly sweet.

Sherry Swizzle

A delicious way to enjoy sherry on a summer's afternoon or evening.

Fashionista'tini

Vodka straight from a freezer is crucial to achieving the desired temperature and mouthfeel for this devilishly red fruity Martini. Freshly squeezed pomegranate

Lavender Margarita

As the name suggests, a floral, lavender-influenced margarita.

Floral Daiquiri

A floral riff on a classic Daiquiri with a hint of berry fruitiness and a lavender pink hue.

Pallini Limoncello Cocktail Competition

Once again, for a second year, we've teamed up with Pallini, the world's leading limoncello, to invite professional bartenders and home consumers alike,

RAC Cocktail

A one-to-one Perfect Martini with extra grenadine sweetness and orange bitters adding complexity.

Lemon Cream Soda

A creamy, citrusy, refreshing treat.

Light & Day

Proof that fresh orange juice works in a gin-forward stirred cocktail.

House of Payne

A spirituous Sloe Gin Negroni with raspberry fruitiness adding much to this cocktail's flavour and colour.

Fat Cat

Orange blossom water amplifies apricot notes in this brandy-laced sour, with sloe gin adding fruity depth of flavour.

Bubblegum Daiquiri No. 2

Just as it says on the tin, although more complex than the name might suggest.

Te Anaka

Reminiscent of a Honeysuckle Daiquiri with distinctive fino sherry notes. Honey and lemon juice combine brilliantly, smoothed and made frothy by egg white.

Smoky Spirit of Paloma

A surprisingly tasty alcohol-free alternative to a mezcal-based Paloma.
