Embracing Autumn

Embracing Autumn

September kicks off the Autumn season with a new stylish Italian gin liqueur, Japanese underworld styled cocktail bar and lush Henson’s gin garden with the return of Cocktails in the City

INTRODUCING KRANEBET

The original Italian juniper liqueur

Say hello to a stunning new gin liqueur Kranebet, produced in Italy by Rossi d’Asiago distillers since 1924, an award-winning aromatic liqueur rich in juniper. Originally a popular pharmaceutical elixir, Kranebet uses hand-picked juniper berries, gentian root, roman absinthe, coriander seeds and quassia bark, creating a harmonious spirit, free from artificial flavouring and colours. 

To mark the occasion we hosted an evening of KranebTonics, Negronis and Spritzes at Silverleaf bar at the PanPacific hotel. 

There was insightful  story telling from Nicola Dal Toso from Rossi d'Asiago distillery, botanical experiences and one-to-one masterclasses from award-winning bar owner Erik Lorincz.

National Watermelon Day 

Wednesday 3rd of August

Why not indulge in the latest launch from BrewDog Distilling Co: Seven Day Watermelon & Strawberry Vodka (40% ABV), on the National Watermelon Day. 

The ultimate expression of summer in a bottle, made in Scotland’s first carbon negative distillery and limited to 1,500 bottles, will be available from BrewDog bars across the country and Brewdog.com

Using a grain to glass approach, BrewDog Distilling Co uses triple bubble distillation for four days, then the crystal clear spirit vapour climbs a purification column so high, BrewDog Distilling Co had to rebuild their roof around it. This liquid is then infused with juicy watermelon and British strawberries to ensure the resulting spirit packs a punch, with notes of wild berries, cucumber and a touch of strawberry ice cream.
