Fig Leaf & Oolong: A Sweet, Herbal Escape

This drink blends Ketel One Vodka with the delicate sweetness of fig leaf and the depth of oolong milk tea soda, creating a drink that's as calming as it is invigorating. The oolong tea adds a smooth, earthy undertone that complements the light, herbal fig leaf perfectly, making it ideal for sipping on a warm afternoon.

Pineapple & Chamomile: Tropical with a Twist

Looking for something a little more tropical? The Pineapple & Chamomile cocktail is a blend of Planteray 3 Star Rum, chamomile tepache, and lime super juice. The subtle floral notes of chamomile perfectly complement the tangy pineapple, while the smooth rum adds a tropical kick. Finished with a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO), this cocktail boasts a rich, savory depth that's both unexpected and delightful.

Guava & Cinnamon: Exotic & Warm

For a drink with a touch of exotic flair, the Guava & Cinnamon cocktail combines Ocho Blanco Tequila with Pierre Ferrand Dry Curaçao and acidified guava. The sweetness of guava meets the warmth of cinnamon and the gentle kick of aji amarillo, creating a complex drink that's both refreshing and comforting. With its slight tang and spice, this cocktail is the ideal choice for those seeking an adventure in a glass.

Cucumber & Mandarin: Crisp and Clean

For something light and crisp, the Cucumber & Mandarin cocktail offers a perfect balance of refreshing flavors. The sweetness of mandarin complements Bluecoat Gin and Roots Mastiha, the cool freshness of cucumber, and the velvety richness of aquafaba. Finished with a touch of cucumber mastic soda, this cocktail is a cooling delight, making it perfect for a hot summer day.

Kumquat & Blood Orange (Zero Proof): Citrus & Zesty

For those who prefer a non-alcoholic option, the Kumquat & Blood Orange is a vibrant, citrus-forward choice. Lucano Amaro and acidified blood orange create a tangy yet smooth drink that's perfect for sipping without alcohol. It's the kind of drink that delivers refreshing citrus with just the right amount of complexity.

Mint & Cucumber (Zero Proof): A Refreshing Escape

Another excellent zero-proof option, the Mint & Cucumber cocktail combines the crispness of Roots Divino Bianco with the coolness of cucumber and the brightness of lime.
