Pornstar Martini Cocktail Recipe (adapted)
The Pornstar Martini is one of the most popular cocktails in the UK and is viewed as a modern classic. The cocktail was created in 2002 by bartender and LAB (London Academy of Bartending) bar founder Douglas Ankrah at The Townhouse bar in Knightsbridge.He first named the cocktail the Maverick Martini, in recognition to a sketchy club in Cape Town, but later changed the name to the Porn Star Martini.“I called it the Porn Star Martini because I thought it was something that a porn star would drink. It’s pure indulgence, sexy, fun and evocative,” Douglas Ankrah said.This is an adapted recipe. View the original recipe here: Pornstar Martini cocktail recipe
It's Always Sunny Cocktail Recipe
It's Always Sunny is a light, easy drinking vodka cocktail featuring Cocchi Americano. Strong orange and citrus flavours.
Toffee Negroni
The Toffee Negroni is a delicious, sweet, nutty variation on the ever so popular Negroni. Aged rum brings toffee and caramel notes to the Negroni riff whilst Amontillado sherry imparts nutty tones and the Aperol brings a subtle bitter, fruitiness. A soft, sweet and very tasty riff on a classic gin Negroni.

The spiced rum stout flip is intense, rich and comforting. The eggnog can move aside for this new and improved version which is full of flavour and spice with aromatics of nutmeg. Why not try a Black Flip by Jim Meehan (NY) which utilises a Black Strap Rum and Chocolate Stout.
Quaker Cocktail Recipe
The Quaker is a bright and delightful cocktail. Sweet and citrusy and not overpowering. Featured in Harry McElhone's 1927 Barflies and Cocktails. Feel free to play around with the rum utilised - we used an Aged Caribbean Spiced Rum in the video below.

Blinker Cocktail Recipe
The Blinker cocktail recipe was first published in 1934 and was recently republished in Robert Simonson's 3-Ingredient Cocktails. In the video below I used ruby red grapefruit juice which is typically sweeter than plain grapefruit juice - this worked in my favour as the drink did need an increase of the sweet component. Adjust the amount of raspberry syrup depending on the strength and sweetness of your syrup. Homemade raspberry syrup preferred of course!
Islay Tea Party Gin Cocktail Recipe
Inspired by a classic rum punch recipe, the Islay Tea Party is the creation of Redditor r/RangerGundy. Utilising base ingredients of gin, ginger and earl grey tea. These flavours would also work remarkably well with a whiskey base and smoky whiskey float.

The Un-Fig-Gettable cocktail is certainly a rich and tasty coffee cocktail. The bitter flavours and dryness of the cocktail bitters in addition to the subtle bitterness of the coffee works well to balance out the sweet flavours of PX sherry and the flavoursome fig jam.
Milk and Cookies Cocktail Recipe

Hugo Spritz Cocktail Recipe
The Hugo Spritz or Alpine Spritz (pronounced ‘Ugo’ by Italians) originated in the northern Italian region Alto-Adige - an area where the elderberry plant thrives in summer. A light and refreshing aperitivo! According to the Spritz book by Talia Baiocchi and Leslie Pariseau, the original recipe called for lemon syrup before changing to elderflower syrup. Given that elderflower isn't prevalent in other regions, it's common to utilise elderflower liqueur as it's replacement.
