Recipes
Cocktails, mocktails and homemade prep for the bar

Recipes is where you’ll find everything that ends up in – or behind – the glass.
This section brings together three core areas: Cocktails (classic specs and original signatures), Mocktails (zero-alcohol drinks with real structure and balance) and Homemade (syrups, cordials, infusions and other bar prep). Use it as a working recipe book for service, training and menu development, whether you’re running a professional bar or levelling up your home setup.

Daiquiri: The Spirit of Cuba in a Glass

The Daiquiri is more than a cocktail — it’s the distilled essence of balance, the meeting point between sugar, citrus, and spirit. Three simple ingredients — Cuban rum, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup — combine to create one of the world’s most elegant drinks. Yet behind that simplicity lies a universe of technique, history, and cultural identity.

Lynchburg Lemonade: The Highball Born in Tennessee

When it comes to crowd-pleasing highballs with American roots, few drinks are as instantly refreshing and approachable as the Lynchburg Lemonade. A citrus-forward long drink that balances sweetness, acidity, and spirit, it’s a staple on many bar menus—and for good reason.

When Beer Meets Bourbon: How to Make the Lager Whiskey Sour

The Whiskey Sour is a timeless cocktail, beloved for its balance of spirit, citrus, and sweetness, crowned with a velvety froth of egg white. But in today’s era of creative mixology, classics are meant to be reimagined. Enter the Lager Whiskey Sour - a twist that merges the malty bitterness of beer with the familiar structure of the sour, resulting in a drink that is complex, refreshing, and modern.

Down to Earth: A Bold, Velvety Mocktail with Layers of Contrast

Inspired by Peter Gabriel’s moving track “Down to Earth”, this mocktail borrows more than just the name; it shares the same emotional register: grounded, rich in depth, and subtly uplifting. The title plays on dual meanings: “Earth” refers not only to the song’s introspective tone but also to the drink’s earthy flavour profile, built around beetroot, sesame, and mint: ingredients that connect the drink to the soil, the senses, and something deeper than just refreshment.
