Cocktail of the Day
2nd of October 2025

Today is National Name Your Car Day, so we are drinking a Buttercup.

Perfect Pal

A riff on the classic Old Pal, made lighter and more approachable by red aperitivo liqueur replacing red bitter liqueur. Don't skip the spray of orange

Electric Blue Daiquiri

Zesty orange and agricole rum notes lift this vibrant blue Daiquiri.

Strawberry Roan

Rye whiskey-laced, delicately sweet 'n' sour with delicious strawberry fruitiness.

Right Word

The Last Word meets the Corpse Reviver in this floral cocktail, originally made with London dry gin, but is better with old tom gin.

Sicilian Espresso Martini

Beautifully balanced layers of flavour and bittersweetness.

Hula Hoola Houla

Aged rum forms the backbone to this refreshing zesty orange cocktail.

Ironside Sour

This foamy sour digestivo is mild in alcohol but flavoursome with ferro-china's steely bitterness balanced by bright lemon freshness.

Cola di Ferro

A fairly smoky mezcal works best in this bittersweet, faintly citrusy digestivo or late-night sipper.

Plane Ryder

An appropriately named, rye whiskey-based Paper Plane. Simple and tasty. Go easy when expressing the twist; too much citrus oil detracts from this aperitivo

Blacksmith's Manhattan

A Manhattan with a steely edge, rye whiskey spice and herbal complexity drifts into a rye and cola-like finish.

Arawak

The original recipe calls for aromatic bitters, but this deliciously sherry-infused Rum Old Fashioned is better with the zesty freshness of orange bitters.

Royal Sovereign

A delicately bittersweet sour with the combination of lemon, sherry and aperitivo giving this cocktail a hue and flavour that's vaguely reminiscent of

Piccola Italia

Aromatic moscato grappa is the hero of this complex bittersweet aperitivo.

Penultimate Word

A bittersweet and sweet 'n' sour riff on a Last Word that's lighter and easier going than many others.

Edsel

A dry and mildly spicy Negroni Sbagliato variation.

Hasty

A 'Perfect' two-to-one Reverse Martini.

Webster Cocktail

Balanced, or even a tad on the sour side rather than sweet. Indeed, your choice of apricot liqueur will impact the need for added sugar. Adjust accordingly
