DRINK DESCRIPTIONS:
Cocktails
Murder at Midnight
“A dark, brooding twist on a classic, this cocktail combines vibrant fruity flavours with a mysterious purple edge. Perfectly balanced and dangerously delicious- it’s the perfect choice for those solving crimes long after the clock strikes twelve.”
Red Herring
“Deceptively sweet and refreshingly fruity, this cocktail lures you in with notes of peach, cranberry and vodka- but beware, it might just lead you astray. A drink as intriguing as the mystery itself, great for a night of uncovering the truth.”
Green with Envy
“Vivid, vibrant and inspired by one of the oldest motives in the book- a reminder that envy can drive anyone to crime. Careful, it’s as tempting as it is revealing…”
Mocktails
The Private Investigator
“Every good P.I. needs to keep a clear mind, fumble your facts and you lose your client. So why not choose a drink that is sophisticated, classy and 100% alcohol free?
A twist on the classic cosmopolitan containing 0% alcohol gin.”
Crime and Punch-ishment
“Did the crime? Now do the time. But at least do it with this insanely fun, fruity and lightly spiced punch in hand.
A spiced rum punch featuring 0% alcohol rum.”
