The Wimbledon Martini cocktail was created in London sometime during the 1990s when every cocktail served in a V-shaped glass was called a Martini. It takes some time getting through the fine strainer, but when you do it’s simply strawberries and cream with the faintest hint of alcohol. Wimbledon is all about strawberries and cream. […]
The Piranha cocktail is a simple alternative to “Vodka and Coke” and though it only adds one more ingredient, it’s more of a drink because it requires just a bit more effort.

In 2008, the bartender was playing around with Sake at the Cabinet Room in London and so the Damn It Jimmy cocktail was born. He himself calls it “probably the best drink he has developed” and, as he was thinking what to call the cocktail, the track he was listening to ended and the singer […]
The Old Cuban cocktail is a Rum, lime, mint and Champagne cocktail. It is considered a refined short drink variant of the classic and popular long drink Mojito (white Rum, lime, mint, sugar, sparkling water), as it is infused with Champagne instead of soda water.
