Cocktail of the Day
6th of February 2026
Today is The day Elizabeth Windsor became Queen, so we are drinking a Queen's.
Rabbit's Foot
A spiritous sour with apple brandy, dark rum, grenadine and orange fruitiness.
Eclipse No. 2
If you like a Last Word, you'll like this.
Green Goddess
This deep olive-green, minty, bittersweet herbal cocktail is perhaps the ultimate digestivo. If you're stuffed/flagging after an overly indulgent, multi-course
End of the Road
Originally designed to be served straight-up, but I prefer this punchy, Negroni-esque cocktail over ice, mellowed by a little additional dilution.
Crown Prince
A tequila and white port-laced Tiki-style cocktail with sour lime balanced by rich almond syrup.
Havana Club
This equal parts Rum Manhattan is ridiculously simple but simply delicious. As befits the name, it also suits the character of a well-aged Cuban rum.
Poet's Dream
Honeyed and herbal with an assertive dry gin backbone. I find the original equal-parts formula a little overly rich, so I cut back the liqueur to as little
Yellow Negroni
As the name suggests, this pisco-based, five equal parts, vivid yellow, bittersweet aperitif was inspired by the classic Negroni, along with three of the
Argentina Cocktail
A Wet Martini softened by liqueur and given a hint of citrus and spice.
Champs-Elysees
A great after-dinner cocktail for lovers of brandy and Chartreuse. The sweet elements in this sour are cranked up but balanced by spiritous alcohol. Achieving
Purgatory
Too many and you're in it! This is a punchy, spirit-forward cocktail that was apparently created as a pick-me-up but is perhaps better suited as a (put-you-down)
Hazelnut Sherry Flip
Hazelnut and nutty oloroso sherry shine in this low-alcohol flip.
Toasted Macadamia Sour
Brandy-laced, with bourbon adding headline toasty notes to this macadamia-flavoured sour.
White Chocolate & Macadamia Flip
An indulgent, vanilla, macadamia and white chocolate flip that's just nudging being sweet.
Macadamia Mai Tai
A lighter style of Mai Tai, allowing buttery macadamia nut flavours to shine alongside the rum.
Macadamia Daiquiri
A delicate hint of banana adds tropical notes to this buttery macadamia Daiquiri.
Amber Spritz
Honeyed prosecco with attractive, balancing, underlying bitter notes.
Brandy Alexander
This after-dinner classic is rich, creamy and subtly chocolaty.
Intimate Martini
Sweet apricot dried and balanced by vermouth and bitters. Surprisingly complex and pleasant.
Prosperity
A Scotch whisky Sidecar. I've trimmed back the citrus from the classic proportions to allow the whisky to shine.
Hoopla
Not far removed from a Sidecar.
Honeycomb
Caramelised bittersweetness with toasty, honey and bitter almond.
Prince of Wales
Delicious! Delicate pineapple and maraschino fruitiness, laced with rye whisky and invigorated with fizz.
