just under a baker's dozen bookclub cocktails for a just under 6
a classier way to get tipsy1
the consumption of liquor is a tried & tested formula for hooking up, breaking up, starting wars & fuelling banter.
for every duchess quaffing chateaux margeaux, there,s a jake with a can of super strength lager; for every shiny style bar, there,s a spit & sawdust pub doing just fine thank you very much. the bookclub settles cosily in a bohemian middle ground straddled on either side by pretension & carelessness. our cocktails side handsomely with the best & our wine list is compact (red or white & occasionally rose) but darn it they,re excellent tipples. if you want a sailor jerry raspberry daiquiri then you,ve come to the right place - if you want an ice cold pint then you,re just as welcome. you won,t find any smirnoff here, but you will find great drinks served by decent folk & quality brands at a price your gran would approve of. hard liquors for fine men, fine liquors for hard men & strawberry gin mojitos for the rest of us...cocktails my dear, cocktails
