Shake It Up: $8 Cocktail Special of the Week: Garden Vesper —->
A herbaceous twist on the classic, this cocktail blends Mammoth Distilling gin and Straits vodka with dry vermouth infused with alliums, fresh herbs, Castelvetrano olives, and black peppercorn. Savory, aromatic, and refreshingly green.

The base spirit remains a crisp, clean gin and vodka duo—echoing the drink’s Bond heritage—but the soul of the cocktail lies in the vermouth.

The infusion brings a vegetal complexity and aromatic depth, transforming the typically dry, bracing aperitif into something vibrant and garden-fresh. Served ice-cold with a lemon twist.

The ‘Perfect’ Daquiri

1 oz Demerara rum
1 oz white rum75 oz vanilla bean sugar75 oz fresh lime juice

A luxurious twist on the classic. This refined daiquiri blends light and dark rum for depth and warmth, fresh-squeezed lime juice for bright acidity, and a subtle infusion of vanilla bean to round it all with soft, aromatic sweetness.

Shaken to a crisp chill and served with elegance, it’s a cocktail that bridges tropical tradition with a modern, velvety finish.
