Our two must try recommendations?

The WD40 cocktail which is all the hype, which infuses Guinness, Scottish Ginger Wine and lemon juice to create a truly unique flavour, finished with a side shot of whisky & Drambuie. 

The Cloudy Sunset which offers a unique palette, balancing a floral Scottish gin with lychee, Aperol, lime and a dash of absinthe to create a complex yet well balanced sweet cocktail.
