Cocktail of the Day
20th of March 2026

Today is Spring Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere, so we are drinking a Apple Blossom Cocktail.

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.

Range Life (Tequila Negroni)

This delicious Tequila Negroni is a great example of how the lightly vanilla notes of a reposado work better than a bianco tequila in many cocktails. (I

Hell Diver

The classic mix of gin and red quinquina (see Dubonnet Cocktail No. 1 and Zaza), enhanced by chocolate and dashes of bitters.

Bitter Bee

Honeyed bittersweet and sweet 'n' sourness, lightly fortified with mezcal. Designed as a low-alcohol aperitivo.

20 best Spring cocktails

Spring has sprung – well at least it has here in the northern hemisphere. It's time to rediscover the delights of floral cocktails – think elderflower

Mar del Plata

Not so far removed from a Corpse Reviver No. 2 in style, this gin-laced aperitivo is dry and aromatic with intertwined citrus and herbal notes.

Bouchot

A calvados-based White Negroni. (If you measure in ml rather than ounces, perhaps use a 50ml, 25ml, 25ml recipe.)

Mole Old Fashioned

A corn and rye whisky-based Old-Fashioned with the chocolate and spice notes, as befits the name.

Italian Passion Margarita

A bittersweet, passion fruit Margarita.

Gypsy Rosolio

Gin-laced, floral, rich elderflower balanced by sour and faintly bitter citrus.

Alpine Martini

Genepi's alpine flavours enhance this herbal Martini.

Volare

An unlikely combination of ingredients gives a pleasing, strangely almost floral flavour.

Barracuda No. 2

Lightly bourbon-laced and delicately bittersweet with lemon freshness. The oils from the garnish are an essential toning element.

Marquette

A sweet Martini with almond, cacao and carob notes from crème de noyaux.

Marqueray

Your grenadine could make or break this colourful gin-laced sour.

Golden Banana Flip

A white fluffy head tops this golden coloured, bourbon-laced and banana-flavoured, after-dinner cocktail.

Midnight Fizz

A light, fluffy and refreshing sour that offers invigoration, that's perhaps best appreciated during the witching hours.

Royal Jubilee

A Sidecar made with apple brandy (calvados) in place of brandy (cognac).

Scotch Neg

As the name suggests, this is a tasty, peated whisky-laced riff on a Scotch Negroni that's far more approachable than the ingredients might suggest.

Rye Tai

A rye whiskey-based, word-play riff on a classic Mai Tai with pineapple, citrus and herbal notes.

Deansgate

Rum and herbal honey liqueur enhance each other, with lime adding flavour, freshness and balance.
