With Wimbledon approaching, it only seems fair to get on the strawberries and cream right? Kinda feels like the perfect opportunity to cater those that want something a little more boozy to cap off your summers evening...

• Hendrick’s Gin
• Rosé
• Strawberry & Cream Prosecco

Light, fruity and oh so classy, this little spritz is sure to keep you refreshed either in the afternoon sun or in those hot, hazy nights.

𝗕𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗮 & 𝗩𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗮 🍌

Sometimes a martini really hits the spot. Crisp, cool and to top it all off you look sophisticated as hell! The issue is you’re not always game to have what is essentially diluted gin. Need something to do both, look no further...

• Another Hendrick’s
• Dry Vermouth
• Banana
• Vanilla

Still giving Another Hendrick’s plenty of room to shine, this cocktail brings forward the chocolatey notes of the gin whilst giving you the satisfaction of a banana split. In our opinion it’s the perfect way to add a touch of elegance to your night without any risk of “Maybe that’s a touch strong”.

OUR CO-LAB ▲

Just off Whitchurch Road, towards the north of Cardiff, you’ll find the sprawling allotments of Global Gardens. Here, you’ll likely find Poppy and her team of volunteers knuckle-deep in soil, growing all sorts of fruits, vegetables, herbs and more.

The Garden Margarita is a unique drink, in that it changes depending on what has been grown in the garden! Over the last year, flavours have included:

* Apple & Sage
* Lemon Balm & Blueberry
* Plum & Cardamom
* Fig Leaf & Lychee
* Carrot & Clementine

And our new one * Strawberry & Spearmint

Vivir Blanco Tequila
Spearmint Liqueur
Strawberry Cordial
