Cocktails

Mezcal Union unapologetically calls itself a gateway Mezcal. Its balance from smoke to sweet to minerality is perfect, and that structure makes it ideal for the classic of all classic Mexican cocktails. If you’ve never had a Mezcal marg before, make sure you start with this one...

You may call us lazy for suggesting a simple daquiri… But we find many other white rums need additional complexity injected into their cocktails. That is not the case with this Oaxacan Masterpiece. Paranubes' funk and intensity are all you need to make this the most intriguing, delicious daiquiri recipe on the planet.

A Mezcali riff on a Last Word, this bittersweet, citrusy and fresh aperitivo recipe just works with Quiquiriqui's Espadin Mezcal, which adds a layer of earth and smoke across the palate from beginning to end.

We’ve all had a mojito before, But not like this. The Flying King with it's intense spicy notes really takes this classic up a notch. Still refreshing and moreish, the supporting characteristics of this Rum brings luscious decadence to the drink.

Considering Ester Dry Gin was born in the quest for the perfect Negroni, it's no surprise this is our favourite version. Ester also pre-batches this exact recipe for those who would prefer to take the short cut.

For those who like a drier version of this classic, Ester's navy-strength Strong Gin has all the oomph you need to stand up to the sweetness and spice of orgeat syrup and bitters.

This sweet/sour/bitter tiki classic takes on a new personality with the fiery ginger kick of Dark Matter Spiced Rum.

Here, the sweet oiliness of Frangelico, the depth and complexity of Dark Matter's Spiced Rum and the refreshing twist of star anise give the humble Espresso Martini whole new meaning.

Dodd's high juniper strength and mouth-filling texture combined with a botanical bill of local honey and fresh lime peel in place of the more traditional coriander seed makes a funned-up, organic Martini with plenty of floral, aromatic botanicals.

Balcombe Mabel is the perfect Gin for cocktails with more complicated flavours - its balance allows for plenty of experimentation, but its concentration means the Gin element still shines.

A very Victorian flavoured version of the Mint Julep, with spicy Animus Ambrosian Gin, ultra-dry Sherry and the fruity flavours of mandarin and blackberry. Created by Trish Brew of the Gin Palace.

The supremely herbal flavours of Animus Arboretum Gin are crying out for the simplicity of a really good Gimlet. Here's the perfect blend.
