What is the Pickle Pea Martini?

Vodka can be made from lots of different bases. Usually, we see potato or wheat for example, but never before have we seen peas used. From the dinner plate to the bottle, Pod Pea Vodka, launched by Manchester’s Ten Locks, is turning heads with its eco-friendly approach, enchanting green hue and unique flavour profile. Using sustainably sourced British peas, this vodka not only delivers on taste but also carries environmental benefits: peas need less water and fertilizer compared to traditional vodka crops and even enrich the soil with nitrogen.

The result? A neutral grain spirit blended with pristine Lake District water, offering a smooth, refreshing experience with vibrant vegetal notes, crisp lemon, creamy grain, pepper, and a subtle sweetness. The flavours are perfectly poised between familiar lemon, cream and pepper and that stand out vegetal hint. Packaged with recycled glass and sustainable labels, Pod Pea Vodka isn’t just a green choice—it’s a deliciously responsible one. Perfect on the rocks or in creative cocktails like the one below, it’s the sustainable sip you didn’t know you needed.

It’s fun to sip neat, but the vegetal profile of Pod Pea is begging to be experimented with in cocktails. Meet the Pickle Pea Martini, a cocktail that’s as bold as it is refreshing. The star of the show is Pod Pea Vodka, whose vegetal and citrus notes play beautifully with the tangy brine of pickle juice, while fennel bitters add a whisper of herbal complexity. It’s a real flavour bomb that’s both sophisticated and surprisingly approachable. If you love your vodka and your Martinis, this is the perfect way to try something different.

Ingredients:
50ml Pod Pea Vodka
20ml Pickle juice
2 dashes fennel bitters
Twisted pickle (garnish)

Method:
Stir ingredients in a large mixing glass. It’s important to ensure everything combines homogenously. Next, pour into a chilled Martini glass and garnish with a twisted pickle. Enjoy.

Ditch the Guesswork: Unveiling the Ultimate Pasta and Wine Pairings

Wine and pasta might just be one of the earliest earthly delights - timeless, classic, and infinitely delectable. It’s not hard to envision why for almost as long as we’ve been conscious of our palates and had the ability to make wine, we’ve been using it to enhance, complement and complete our most delicious dishes. To the uninitiated, the question of “which wine should I pair with my dish?” might be a daunting one! As with all things wine, there are layers of complexity. Your personal favourite wine is a wonderful place to start, but there is such a wealth of fantastic food and wine in the world and discovering them is so rewarding. 

Where do you begin?

Fortunately, we have teamed up with the phenomenal multi award-winning organic and biodynamic farm, Fattoria La Vialla, to find out the ultimate pasta and wine pairings.

What is Fattoria La Vialla?

Fattoria La Vialla not only make award winning wines but also specialise in making healthy food that tastes exactly as if it has just been freshly cooked by an Italian “nonna”. The beautiful, family-run, organic-biodynamic Farm and Wine Estate is situated near Arezzo in the Chianti region. It was already a farm over 200 years ago and was saved from ruin by the Lo Franco family in 1978. Since then, they have used biodynamic and organic farming practices to cultivate 1600 hectares of land and produce a wide range of delicacies including wine, cheese, pasta, olive oil and even cosmetics! They ensure the shortest possible journey and maximum freshness for their delicious offerings by cutting out the middleman and selling products directly from their website.

What exactly does it mean to be an organic, and biodynamic farm? Organic agriculture promotes the soils natural fertility without the use of chemical pesticides and fertiliser. It guarantees crop rotation, as well as periodic rest of the soil and the choice of selected varieties of plants. Organic also means GMO (genetically modified organism) free and ensures that farm animals have a great quality of life, free from the use of hormones, with ample space to graze which safeguards the dignity of the animals that thrive on the farm.

Biodynamic agriculture improves the biodiversity and fertility of the soil, the terroir. Consider, if you will, the idea that a farm is a single organism. The land, plants, animals and people live in a tight closed cycle. Fattoria La Vialla produce their own natural, biodynamic preparations and concentrated compounds to spray periodically on crops. The cultivation, production, recycling, and composting techniques used are those that were perfected long ago by their agricultural ancestors who proved it is possible to produce high quality products without the need for waste or chemicals. All of this work ensures the highest possible quality of goods for consumers.

Let’s talk Pasta

We can’t talk about the perfect pasta and wine pairings unless we talk about the perfect pasta. For the dishes below, we used organic pasta from Fattoria La Vialla which is made from organic farm-grown durum wheat semolina and dried incredibly slowly at the lowest temperature possible (about 35-37°C) for between 44 and 48 hours. There are no added substances, and the simplicity of its creation preserves the nutritional properties of the pasta. Paying close attention to the water’s purity and properties, as well as the quality of the cereals to make the semolina, right through to the soil in which the wheat grows is vital to making delicious pasta – a practice that Fattoria La Vialla follow scrupulously. This attention to detail makes for restaurant quality pasta at home that is perfect for impressing your guests!

There might be some pasta styles that you’re yet to be acquainted with, so here’s a brief rundown of the pasta featured below.

Fusilli - This classic shape can be found everywhere in Italy. La Vialla’s Fusilli is deeply intricate with tight coils that bind to any sauce! Particularly excellent in veggie dishes. 

Pici – A thicker spaghetti type pasta, deeply texturally satisfying and excellent with any rich red sauce. Patience is key here, with a twenty-minute cook-time that is oh-so worth it. 

Mini Farfalle - One of Fattoria La Vialla’s “mini pasta” shapes, that are every bit as firm and fresh as the full-sized pasta. Super doughy and perfect for pasta salads. The “mini” range all has the same cooking time, so you can even mix and match.

Tagliatelle - A staple at any good Italian restaurant, tagliatelle is wonderfully long, thick and accompanies almost any kind of sauce. It’s extra special with egg-based sauces. Be sure to stir delicately when cooking to avoid breaking! 

Spaghetti - By far the most popular pasta shape in and outside of Italy. Fattoria La Vialla’s Spaghetti is made in the traditional shape and size and is the ultimate Carbonara baseline. 

How Do You Pair Wine and Pasta? Top Tricks and Tips

Let’s keep this simple. Heavy sauce? Heavy wine. A super intense red sauce with red meat? Then a bold, tannic red wine, such as Sangiovese or even a Cabernet Sauvignon. Drop down in intensity, perhaps a lighter herbaceous tomato sauce? Try a Pinot Noir or a Merlot. Light, vegetable-heavy dishes pair beautifully with lighter wines that won’t dominate the intricate flavours of the dish, such as Sauvignon Blanc or a tantalising Riesling. 

For a truly perfect pairing, there might be more to consider. We’ve got you covered with five tips for the ultimate pasta and wine pairings.

• Compare - Consider the ingredients and your dish and match it to the flavour profile of your chosen wine. Most wines list their tasting notes if you aren’t sure or are trying something new.

• Contrast - Some of the best food combinations contrast rather than compare. Consider sweet against bitter, umami against sour. You can apply this logic to wine pairing.

• Terroir: “If it grows together, it goes together” is the old food and drink industry saying. Put simply, local wine will pair beautifully with regional dishes. 

• Acidity: As a general rule of thumb, a wine should be more acidic than your dish, but not so much it’s overpowering. Balance is key.

• Trust yourself. Often, the best wine pairing is just your favourite wine with your favourite dish. Have fun! 

To kickstart your adventure into the delightful world of pasta and wine, we’ve selected seven perfect pairings for the next time you’re cooking to impress (or just for you, we won’t judge). 

The Best Pasta Dishes for Red Wine

Eat: Tagliatelle with Porcini Mushrooms and Pecorino
Drink: LeccioMoro Maremma Toscana Rosso D.O.C. 2022

1 shallot
7 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
3-4 sage leaves
2 tbsp grated aged pecorino cheese
1 tbsp chopped parsley
salt and pepper (to taste)

Method: 
Clean the mushrooms and slice thinly, then set aside. Dice the shallot, sauté in a heavy bottom pan with 4 tbsp olive oil. Once translucent, toss in the mushrooms, add salt, pepper and torn sage leaves, then cook on medium for 10-15 minutes. Toast the chopped bread and hazelnuts with 1 tbsp olive oil. Boil the Tagliatelle until al dente and then strain - make sure to save some pasta water! Combine the pasta with the mushroom sauce and add a generous 2 tbsp of pecorino cheese, along with a spoonful or two of pasta water to help everything blend. Top with the toasted bread and hazelnuts and serve immediately with a drizzle of raw olive oil. Enjoy! 

The wine: This beautiful blend of 80% Sangiovese and 20% Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah bursts with berry fruits. The deep crimson colour hints at the wines’ age time - 12 months in oak, aiding the abundance of tannic properties you’ll find on the palate. Expect hints of spice and vanilla with a powerful berry punch.

The combination: This super umami, savoury, nutty pasta dish contrasts beautifully with the bold, jammy, fruity red wine. Absolutely perfect.

Lightly fry diced garlic in oil, then add tomatoes and season generously with salt.

Add torn basil leaves, the fresh (mash with a fork for the best texture) ricotta and pecorino cheese, then season with salt and chilli pepper. Once mixed, remove from the heat. Cook the pasta in salted boiling water, then strain and add, still hot, to the sauce. Garnish with fresh basil and tuck in! Top Tip: for an easier date night, Fattoria La Vialla actually batch up this delicious sauce - you can find it here!

The wine: 2019 was an odd year for Fattoria La Vialla.

40g aged pecorino cheese
30g boiled eggs

parsley
6 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic

Add the tomatoes drained from the oil, egg, olives, parsley, garlic, chilli and the pecorino into a food processor and blend. Place the mixture into a bowl and carefully mix one tbsp of oil at a time and season to taste. Boil your pasta then strain saving 3 tbsp pasta water. Combine the pasta into the bowl with the Etruscan sauce. It’s simple and delicious. For those wanting to ‘cheat’, use this delicious, light and creamy Salsa Etrusca instead.

The wine: 2022 was the 20th harvest of this 100% Sangiovese wine. It’s full of personality with deep aromas of red forest fruits, gentle spice and slightly herbaceous notes. Expect a tannic, surprisingly sweet, intensely fruity red wine followed by the urge to pour another glass…

The Best Pasta Dishes for White Wine

Eat: Mini Pasta Salad

200g diced fresh pecorino cheese 
1 jar Pasticcio di Olive
1 bunch chives
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
salt 

For the sauce: 
4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp Balsamico Bianco
1 tsp Pesto al Finocchietto

Method: 
Wash, top and tail the green beans, then boil in a large pot with salted water. Remove the beans after twenty minutes (keep the water) and chop in half. Cook the pasta in the same water and strain once al dente. Transfer to a large bowl, dress with 2 tbsp of olive oil and set aside. In the meantime, wash and chop the cherry tomatoes and chives. 

Now for the sauce! In a bowl, add the olive oil, Balsamico Bianco and Pesto al Finocchietto and stir until smooth. Now simply combine all ingredients into a large bowl and mix well! Season to taste. Rest for half an hour and tuck in!

The wine: Grown just off the coast in the Tuscan Maremma, to preserve the delicate wildflower aromas of this wine made from 100% Vermentino grapes, the bunches of grapes are pressed immediately upon harvesting, right at the vineyard. It’s a beautifully sunny yellow wine that just pops with breezy floral aromas and is endlessly refreshing on the palate with plenty of minerality, and notes of citrus and green apple.

The combination: This is the perfect summer dish - the fennel and olive punch are devilishly moreish, and the refreshing white wine will keep your palate cleansed and ready for more. A must-try for the hottest days of summer!

Eat: Pici Pasta with Pesto and Peppers

1 yellow bell pepper 
100g basil
50g pine nuts
50g shelled walnuts
1 clove of garlic 
100g grated pecorino cheese 
8 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
coarse salt

Method: 
Preheat the oven to 200’c (400’F). Whole roast the bell pepper for 10 minutes, then remove and set aside in a food-safe container for a few minutes until cool enough to handle. Remove the core and stem and cut into strips. Add washed basil leaves, pine nuts, walnuts, garlic, olive oil and half of the pecorino into a food processor and blend into a pesto sauce. Cook the Pici in salted water and strain when al dente, keeping some pasta water, then tip into a bowl. In the bowl, add the pesto, peppers, 2 tbsp of the pasta water, and the rest of the pecorino cheese. Garnish with a drizzle of oil and serve up! Bon Appétit!

The wine: A delicate and dry unfiltered ‘Torbolino’, this impressive blend of Chardonnay, Viognier and Sauvignon Blanc come together beautifully to craft a buttery smooth wine. Expect a little sweetness from the unfiltered slowly stirred lees, very little acidity and notes of orchard fruits. 

The combination: The sweet, mellow unfiltered wine enhances the delicate flavours of the dish, marking this perfect ten up to an eleven. If you’re not too sure about unfiltered wine, there is an equally beautiful, filtered version of this Torbolino wine that would pair perfectly with the dish too.

Eat: Spaghetti with Baked Cherry Tomatoes
Drink: Pinot Grigio I.G.T. 2022 Unfiltered

Ingredients (Serves 5-6)
500g Spaghetti
1.2kg “Pachino” cherry tomatoes, firm and well ripened
2 thick slices (2-3 cm) of homemade bread, 2-3 days old
12 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
150g aged pecorino cheese
2 cloves of garlic
1 sprig of basil leaves
1 tsp dried oregano (or fresh chopped parsley, according to taste) 
salt and pepper

Method: 
Halve the cherry tomatoes and arrange them in a single layer in an oven dish, greased with 3 tbsp of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, then layer four more tablespoons of oil on top. In a separate bowl, grate the pecorino and bread, add the basil, garlic, oregano and salt and pepper and mix well. Sprinkle the mixture over the tomatoes and top with the remaining oil. 

Cook in the oven for 40 minutes at 180’c (350’F). At the same time, boil your spaghetti until it’s perfectly cooked, then drain and add straight into your roasted tomato mixture and serve as it is. Aromatic and decadent, bellissimo!

The wine: An unusual (but delicious) Pinot Grigio. It’s made from 100% Pinot Grigio grapes, but the interest here lies in the sourcing of these grapes, in that they come from two vineyards with vastly different terroir, climate conditions and even age. The two grapes balance delicately into a wine that has the fragrance of a well-kept orchard with layered notes of camomile and peach. On first sip, expect a lighter wine with floral and dried fruit notes.

The combination: This dish has been paired with a stunning, light, fruity and almost sweet Pinot Grigio. It’s low acidity contrasts beautifully with the rich cheese and tomato offering on your plate for a match made in heaven!

The Best Pasta Dishes for Sparkling Wine

Eat: Spaghetti with Basil Pesto and Confit Cherry Tomatoes
Drink: Cuvée Rosé Millesimato Brut 2019, Traditional Method, Unfiltered

Ingredients (Serves 4-5)
500g spaghetti
500g cherry tomatoes
4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
25g sugar
1 clove of garlic
10 sprigs of thyme
1 tsp oregano 
salt and pepper

For the pesto:
100g basil 
60g parmigiano 
40g aged pecorino cheese 
50g pine nuts 
1 clove of garlic 
½ glass extra virgin olive oil 
1 tsp salt

Method: 
Wash and halve the tomatoes, place cut-side-up in a lined baking tray and season with salt and pepper. Peel the garlic and finely chop the thyme sprigs along with oregano. Mix and season each tomato with the herb mix. On each tomato, add a pinch of sugar and a drizzle of oil. Place in the oven and cook at 140’c (275’F) for two hours - patience is key. While it’s cooking, prepare your pesto! Crush the pine nuts until smooth, then chop the garlic, pecorino, parmigiano and toss with salt. Combine with the pine nut mixture and add the oil, a little at a time until thick. Cook the spaghetti al dente and save the pasta water. Once strained, add the spaghetti and pesto sauce to a frying pan on a very low heat. Add a spoonful of pasta water and toss until everything is mixed. Serve immediately, garnished with the beautifully slow cooked confit tomatoes! 

The wine: This sparkling rosé, produced in the same way as champagne, is 100% hand-picked Pinot Nero, and it is so, so aromatic due to its unfiltered nature. The colour in the glass evokes a picturesque sunset and there’s even more romance to be found when you try it. On the nose, there are crisp raspberry aromas and a savoury note that will remind you of freshly baked brioche. There’s more where that came from on the palate; dry, red berries and a hint of dark chocolate. If you’ve not been sure about sparkling rosé in the past, this might just change your mind!

The combination: Caramelised tomatoes are a real labour of love and patience - just like this sparkling rosé, which was aged for 40 months in the bottle! The dish is surprisingly low acidity, which is perfect because you’ll get all you need from this top-quality sparkling rosé wine.

It’s rich, dark, and sweet but without the sickliness that some cherry liqueurs come with. There’s honestly so many great serves for this, but after trying it on the rocks, it’s delicious with lemonade or cola for drinkers with a sweeter tooth.

What is the Mother Cocktail Theory?

Did you know there is a theory that there have only ever been 5 uniquely created cocktails and that every other cocktail is simply a derivation of one of these 5? Well, this is partially correct as the actual number of mother cocktails is a matter of great debate within the community, purists argue that there are 5, while some modernists argue that there are 7.

Regardless of the number of mother cocktails, an indisputable fact is that they are foundational knowledge for every bartender and have inspired thousands of other cocktails since

The 5 original mother cocktails are:

• The Daiquiri

• The Daisy

• The Old Fashioned

• The Martini

• The Highball

While the 2 argued by modernists to be included are:

• The Negroni

• The Last Word

The Negroni is arguably derived from the Martini. In contrast, the Last Word is arguably derived from the Daisy, but to truly understand the issue, and to have an opinion on it, we must learn about these a little bit more deeply.

THE DAIQUIRI

The combination of rum, lime, and sugar being delicious is no secret, and is a cocktail that predates cocktail history itself. However, when we look at the Daiquiri through the lens of the Mother Cocktail Theory, we are not considering it as a stand-alone cocktail, but rather as a template for the sour cocktail consisting of:

Spirit | Citrus | Sweetening Syrup

When we look at this from this perspective and allow for modifications and additions instantly a couple of drinks come to mind; the Whisky Sour, is a great example! Whisky of choice, lemon juice, simple syrup, and optional addition of egg white or other vegan foamers fit within this bill perfectly.

Essentially, any cocktail that has a spirit base, an acidifying citrus component, and a syrup to sweeten it falls within this category, but when we look at possible additions, things start to look a little bit murky. Would you believe that the Pina Colada falls into the Daiquiri family tree?

Rum | Lime Juice | Cream of Coconut | Pineapple Juice

Spirit | Citrus | Sweetening Syrup | Additional Ingredient

It takes a bit of an understanding of what goes in each cocktail, but once you have that nailed down, realising which mother cocktail each drink comes from becomes a lot easier. Here are some other classic cocktails that stem from the Daiquiri mother cocktail

Caiprinha
Cachaca | Lime | Sugar

Mojito
Rum | Lime | Sugar | Mint

Bees Knees
Gin | Lemon | Honey

The Business
Gin | Lime | Honey

THE DAISY

Within the bar community, there is heated debate on which cocktail was the original in the Daisy format - The Margarita, or the Sidecar? Both are drinks that predate cocktail history and there is no clear correct answer. However, many people - including myself - are of the school of thought that it is the Margarita, as it is the Spanish word for Daisy.

Margarita
Tequila | Triple Sec | Lime

Sidecar
Brandy | Triple Sec | Lemon

The key difference between a Daisy variant and a Daiquiri variant is the kind of sweetener used in the drink. If it is made using syrup as a sweetener, it falls under the Daiquiri family tree, if it uses a liqueur as a sweetener, it falls under the Daisy family tree. Therefore, a Daisy-style cocktail will read as:

Spirit | Sweetening Liqueur | Citrus

This allows for even more customisability than drinks from the Daiquiri family tree, as the combination of spirits and liqueurs becomes endless, and once you incorporate possible additions into the mix, even more so!

There is a vast range of drinks under the Daisy family tree; some of them are cult classics, some are lesser known, and all of them are delicious. Some of my personal favourites are:

Cosmopolitan
Citron Vodka | Triple Sec | Lime | Cranberry Juice

White Lady
Gin | Triple Sec | Lemon | Egg White OR Vegan Foamer

Trader Vic’s Mai Tai
Aged Rum | White Rum | Triple Sec | Lime | Orgeat

Between The Sheets
Brandy | White Rum | Triple Sec 

THE OLD FASHIONED

While some people believe that an Old Fashioned has to be made with Bourbon, Angostura Bitters, and a sugar cube, the original recipe of an Old Fashioned is stated as:

Spirit | Bitters | Sugar

This opens up a whole realm of possibilities, not only are Rye, Scotch, Irish, and other world whiskies viable options, but as to are spirits such as Rum, Tequila, Mezcal, and even Gin!

As long as it contains the 3 fundamental ingredients and no citrus juice, it falls within the family of the Old Fashioned. This is a family of spirit-forward, generally stirred down drinks, which make these great for batching, and as viable freezer door cocktails!

For the sugar component of an Old Fashioned Style cocktail, unlike the difference between a Daiquiri variant and a Daisy variant, can be syrup or liqueur. This means that drinks such as the Revolver, and the Stinger, fall into the Old Fashioned family.

Examples of Old Fashioned variations are:

Sazerac
Rye OR Cognac OR Both | Peychauds Bitters | Sugar | Absinthe

Oaxacan Old Fashioned
Tequila | Mezcal | Orange Bitters | Chocolate Bitters | Agave Nectar

Revolver
Bourbon | Orange Bitters | Coffee Liqueur

Classic Champagne Cocktail
Cognac | Brown Sugar Cube | Angostura Bitters | Champagne

THE MARTINI

The Martini, arguably the most iconic cocktail ever made, consists of:

Spirit | Fortified Wine | Bitters

This is a style of drink that is oh-so-easy to get right, owing to its simplicity in preparation. But this simplicity in preparation, makes it ever so difficult to perfect, as there are no flashy bartending techniques, or eye-catching glassware or garnishes to hide behind. The technique of preparation from your bartender makes or breaks this drink!

Simplicity in preparation also leads to simplicity in variations. All Martini variations are spirit-forward drinks with a minimal ingredients list, and any potent ingredients are added in sparing amounts. For more information on the Martini, and its variations, make sure to check out our Martini Variations Article!

Much like the Old Fashioned family, these drinks are great prebatched and poured straight from the freezer! Some of our favourite variations are:

Manhattan
Rye Whiskey | Sweet Vermouth | Angostura Bitters | Orange Bitters

Alaska
London Dry Gin | Yellow Chartreuse | Orange Bitters | Absinthe | Salt | Orange Zest

Tequilatini
Reposado Tequila | Dry Vermouth | Orange Bitters

Martinez
London Dry Gin | Sweet Vermouth | Orange Bitters

THE HIGHBALL

If the Martini is the most iconic cocktail to ever be made, the highball is the most used format in the bartending world. 2 ingredients, in a highball over ice, seem like your standard spirit & mixer drink that you would order in a late-night bar, and it is exactly that. Your Highball style cocktail will always read as:

Spirit | Mixer | Optional Additions

Some of the most well-known drinks are highballs that have been drunk so many times over it would be impossible to keep count! Aside from your usual highballs like the Gin & Tonic, the Rum & Coke, and the Whisky Soda, there is a whole world of Highball style drinks out there, for more in-depth information, check out our 2 Ingredient Highball article!

The versatility in this cocktail family knows no bounds, with an almost infinite selection of spirits and mixers to choose from, the world if your oyster! Here are some of our favourites!

Paloma
Tequila | Grapefruit Soda | Lime Juice

Americano
Red Italian Bitter | Sweet Vermouth | Soda

Mizuwari
Japanese Whisky | Still Water

Fernet & Coke
Fernet Branca | Coca Cola (Duh!)

THE NEGRONI

Whether the Negroni is a family of drinks on its own, or a subsect of the Martini or Old Fashioned families is up for debate, and there are convincing arguments for each. I, however, am of firm belief that the Negroni is unique enough within itself and has had an appropriate number of variations made in its form to warrant its own branch of the family tree, with a format of:

Spirit | Fortified Wine | Bitter Aperitif

Traditionally done in equal parts, but not all combinations of spirit, wine, and aperitif will achieve the desired balance in equal parts, so some tinkering with ratios will be required.

This family of cocktails, much like its 2 potential parents, are spirit-forward serves that are great prebatched and poured straight from the freezer.

Here are some of our favourite bittersweet libations:

Boulevardier
Bourbon | Sweet Vermouth | Red Bitter Aperitif

Old Pal
Rye Whiskey | Dry Vermouth | Red Bitter Aperitif

Right Hand
Aged Rum | Sweet Vermouth | Red Bitter Aperitif | Chocolate Bitters

Hanky Panky
London Dry Gin | Sweet Vermouth | Fernet Branca

THE LAST WORD

The Last Word is no new cocktail, but in the realm of Mother Cocktails, it is the youngest member of the family by some distance. The earliest record of it came from Detroit Athletic Club’s members' magazine for July-August 1916, but only really stepped into the realm of being a mother cocktail in the late 1990s to early 2000s as bartenders across the globe started to adopt the template of equal parts cocktails. The original recipe reads as:

London Dry Gin | Green Chartreuse | Maraschino | Lime Juice
(All in equal parts)

However, as the bartending scene, and this drink alongside it, have evolved, the format has changed over the years from:

Spirit | Liqueur | Liqueur | Citrus
All in equal parts

To:

Spirit | Liqueur | Liqueur | Citrus | Optional Additions
(Ratios may vary)

This makes riffs of the Last Word in modern bartending to be the hardest to spot.

There is also a convincing argument that drinks from the Last Word family tree should be a subsection of the Daisy category as they get their sweetness from liqueurs as opposed to sweetening syrups. While this is true and a viable argument, I believe that the Last Word was unique enough in its execution, and had enough cultural impact to spur a whole array of drinks riffing on it, that it deserves its own branch on this family tree of tipples.

These drinks are booze-forward, generally on the more acidic side of balanced, and, more often than not, have at least 1 polarising ingredient. Some of our favourite variations are:

Naked & Famous
Mezcal | Italian Red Aperitivo | Yellow Chartreuse | Lime

Final Ward
Rye Whiskey | Green Charteuse | Maraschino | Lemon

Division Bell
Mezcal | Italian Red Aperitivo | Maraschino | Lime

Paper Plane
Bourbon Whiskey | Italian Red Aperitivo | Amaro Nonino | Lemon

Exploring the Perfect Cocktails to Elevate Your Roulette Night

Imagine this: you’re having fun with your friends playing roulette with a delicious drink in hand. As you wait for the wheel to stop spinning, you sip casually on your drink, enhancing the entire experience.

Whether you are the host or simply helping out at a friend’s game night, having an added element to improve the night is a non-negotiable. And if you need some help figuring out what to offer, then you’re in the right place. Let’s look at hosting the perfect games night with roulette!

Spinning the Wheel

The first step in making the evening fun is ensuring you know the game like the back of your hand. This will mean that you can help explain the rules and available strategies to those who don’t have any experience.

If you yourself have never partaken in anything related to the game, then you should consider checking out roulette online. By doing so, you’ll avoid commuting to a brick-and-mortar casino simply to play roulette - it’s much easier to take the digital approach! Plus, you’ll have instructions and guides available at your fingertips.

Moreover, you won’t have to try to find time around your schedule as online casinos are open 24/7. After all, you have enough on your hands trying to sort out an eventful night for yourself and your friends.

For those worried that you might not have the right device to access the game, fret not. Most online casino platforms are mobile-optimized, allowing you to play via PC, tablet, and smartphone.

When it comes to the game itself, you need to place a bet on where you believe the ball will land once the wheel stops spinning. You can opt to go for an inside bet, which comprises a small range of numbers, or an outside one, where you wager on bigger groups of numbers.

There are also quite a few strategies you can try out to elevate your chances. From picking a roulette variant with better odds to avoiding a Basket bet, researching your options is crucial for success.

And when it comes to the games night in question, you don’t necessarily have to rent a table! You could opt for online roulette here too. Plus, you’ll get to enjoy more variants of roulette if you play digitally. If you want a traditional version, then there’s Classic American and European Roulette. Or you could go for something a bit more modern with Dragon Roulette and Zoom Roulette.

If you wanted to have a dealer so you can let someone else host the game for you, you could check out live dealer roulette. Here, you get to play with a real human dealer through the live audio and video feeds.

Classic Cocktails

Classic cocktails are named thus for a reason - they’re usually the best crowd-pleasers. They can add a level of sophistication to any roulette night, replicating the vibes offered in glamorous casinos.

Nothing screams fancy quite like a martini does, be it stirred or shaken. The base of this drink can either be gin or vodka and then you need to add some dry vermouth.

You can also make it a Dirty Martini by simply adding olives and a splash of its brine. Regardless of which one you opt to go for, just make sure to serve this in a chilled glass.

For something a tad zestier, you can’t go wrong with making a pitcher of margaritas. The ingredients are very accessible, making it a great option if you don’t have a wide selection of ingredients in your local store.

Just mix tequila, lime juice, Cointreau (or triple sec), and optionally syrup. This can then be poured into a salt-rimmed glass with a lime wedge to jazz it up.

The last classic option we want to explore is the Negroni. Take gin, Campari, and then add sweet vermouth to make it.

And we can’t not mention the relatively recent viral Negroni Sbagliato. The only difference is that you use prosecco instead of gin.

Innovative Beverages

While we mentioned some twists on common classics, there are many more creative options out there. Sometimes, the best drinks can be the ones that stray from the norm.

One great innovative cocktail you can easily make at home is the Melbourne CBD. Mix Starward Australian whisky with lemon juice and a homemade Chinese 5-spice honey syrup to achieve a delightfully complex-tasting beverage.

We’d also suggest making sure to have at least one non-alcoholic option available. For instance, you could base a drink on the popular Monster Energy drink.

If you haven’t tried their drinks before, you at the very least have seen them sponsor extreme sports athletes. This is similar to some other energy drink companies, which makes sense thanks to their high caffeine content. Doing tricks like you’ll see in the video below pretty much demands a good hit of caffeine!

If you want to make your life easier, you can simply serve a premade one like the non-alcoholic Monster Mule. By offering this served in a nice glass with a lime peel as a garnish, you can make it as inviting as a non-virgin option.

Take a chance not only when spinning the wheel, but also when sipping on your drink. From classic to adventurous, there are countless drinks you can bring to a roulette night.

Beyoncé Launches ‘SirDavis’ Whiskey

Beyoncé has swapped stage for distillery with the launch of her whiskey, SirDavis. Partnering with the very capable hands of Moët Hennessy, this venture is more than just a business move; it’s a personal tribute to her great-grandfather, a known ‘moonshiner’ back in the day.

“I’ve always been drawn to the power and confidence I feel when drinking quality whisky and wanted to invite more people to experience that feeling,” says Beyoncé.

“When I discovered that my great-grandfather had been a moonshine man, it felt like my love for whisky was fated. SirDavis is a way for me to pay homage to him, uniting us through a new shared legacy.”

Some celebrity liquor brands are very much hands-off affairs; but Queen Bey its involved in carefully crafting the product. Beyoncé and her team worked closely with Moët Hennessy’s expertise to create a whiskey that’s both sophisticated and approachable, appealing to both whiskey connoisseurs and casual drinkers alike. She didn’t just slap her name on the bottle; she chose the single malts and grain whiskies, and she designed a bottle as glamorous and stylish as herself, in keeping with her personal aesthetic.

But don’t be fooled by the star power; SirDavis is a serious whiskey that stands up on its own. Master Distiller Dr. Bill Lumsden who has previously worked with Glenmorangie and Ardbeg led the technical side of things, masterminding a rare 51% rye 49% malted barley mash bill. The aim was to achieve the elegant mouthfeel and textures of Japanese and Scotch whiskies, without losing the robust and deep American rye. Sherry cask maturation was the final touch, bringing juicy, red fruits and warm spices. Tradition and innovation, with some glitz’n’ glam thrown in.

For a keen Beyhive bee, or just someone that likes to keep tabs on the latest whiskey releases, SirDavis offers an exciting opportunity to experience a whiskey that’s rich in history, flavour, and celebrity appeal.

When Beyoncé’s great-grandfather produced his booze, it was stored in the empty knots of cedar trees. This project from his great-granddaughter is an altogether different proposition, gracing the stores of Selfridges, Master of Malt, Hedonism, Berry Bros and The Whisky Exchange. It’s expected to retail for £79 across the UK, US, Paris and Tokyo, so time will tell if it lives up to the price tag!
