Pina Colada Day – 10th July

Journal

Nothing says 'holiday' more than pineapple, coconut and rum. The Pina Colada has been maligned for too long now; with some work, good ingredients and, admittedly a bit of a sweet tooth, this cocktail can be a real pleasure... guilty or otherwise. So crack open the rum, check the date on that coconut cream and get the blender out of the cupboard; it's time to party like it's 1989

The Disco Drink

Bright, garish, frequently blue or green hued, the Disco Drink has largely been replaced by the FAB, the fruit cider or just mainlining boiled sugar directly into your veins (please don’t try that last one). They are often out of balance – and certainly not in the sour direction of the sweet-sour balance – but they embrace fun, excess and colour

Making Hay While the Sun Shines

Summer is here, and if you are lucky enough to have an outdoor drinking area then it can be hard to keep up with the demand that an unexpected day of sunshine can bring. Balancing your labour costs, the degree of prep required, the amount of stock to order and the opportunity for sales that can disappear with a single grey cloud can feel like a near impossible task

The Magic Number
