From London’s most sustainable bar to one of the world’s biggest music icons, this partnership has a story worth toasting. Dover Yard at 1 Hotel Mayfair has teamed up with Ed Sheeran’s hot sauce brand, Tingly Ted’s, to create something fiery, fun, and full of flavour: the Tingly JAM cocktail.
It’s not just another celebrity collaboration. It’s a drink with soul, crafted in loving memory of Ed’s late friend Jamal Edwards, and built around the flavours that defined their friendship: fried chicken, hot sauce, and laughter.
What Makes the Tingly JAM More Than Just a Cocktail?
The Tingly JAM isn’t just about what’s in the glass; it’s about the story it carries. A nod to friendship, creativity, and shared passion, it celebrates the bond between Ed and Jamal with every sip.
The cocktail blends butter-fat-washed Casamigos tequila with a house-made Tingly Ted’s tincture, creating a velvety balance of smoke, spice, and warmth. The name “JAM” pays tribute to Jamal himself, but also to those spontaneous jam sessions that defined their creative connection.
It pairs perfectly with Dover Yard’s crispy fried chicken and Tingly Ted’s dipping sauce, combining comfort and craftsmanship in one bite. And with 10% of every cocktail and dish supporting the Jamal Edwards Self Belief Trust, it’s an indulgence that gives back.
How Did This Collaboration Come to Life?
The partnership goes beyond flavour. It’s about honouring Jamal’s vision, empowering young talent, and sparking creativity through opportunity.
Dover Yard’s bar team worked closely with Ed and the Trust to ensure the project felt true to Jamal’s energy: bold, inclusive, and inspiring. The result is a cocktail that captures his essence: uplifting, unexpected, and made to be shared.
As Jamal’s mother, Brenda Edwards, continues to champion his mission through the Trust, the Tingly JAM serves as a heartfelt reminder that creativity and confidence can truly change lives.
Sustainability Meets Soul
For Dover Yard, purpose-driven hospitality is nothing new. Since opening in 2023, the bar has become a quiet revolution in Mayfair, one where sustainability and indulgence happily coexist.
Under the guidance of Giulio Guarini and Marco Grisafi, the team repurposes ingredients from the neighbouring Dovetale restaurant (led by chef Tom Sellers) and prioritises zero-waste innovation across every serve.
The Regenerative Forces menu, where Tingly JAM now proudly sits, is a showcase of that ethos: creative, conscious, and deeply considered.
One Sip, Endless Stories
Priced at £22, the Tingly JAM is available now at Dover Yard, 1 Hotel Mayfair, a drink that proves flavour can be fun, purposeful, and deeply personal all at once.
Because sometimes, the best cocktails don’t just lift your spirits; they carry a story worth sharing.
