Death in the Afternoon

This heady blend of absinthe and Champagne was created by the absinthe-loving Ernest Hemingway, and shares its name with his book about Spanish bullfighting. It is aptly named!

Minty Green Fairy

This refreshing mojito-style absinthe cocktail perfectly marries sweet liquorice, tart lime and fresh mint with a bit of fizz, perfect on a hot day

Pengroni

Strong but quick and easy to make, the Pengroni (for Penguin’s Negroni) cocktail combines floral Ruby Gin with bittersweet herbal flavours from the Aperol, lifted by sweet citrus aromas.
A great alternative if you find the Negroni a bit dry!

Gin & Sin

Sweet and tart flavours blend perfectly with Three Citrus Gin to create a refreshing, fruity cocktail.

Singapore Sling

This wonderful tropical gin punch, made with Deep South Three Citrus Gin, perfectly matches sweet and sour fruity ingredients with aromatic gin to create the ultimate summer party cocktail.

Tom Collins Cocktail

A cocktail whose origins are both fascinating and contested, nevertheless perfectly suited to our refreshing Three Citrus Gin

Dry Gin Bitters Martini

Deep South Three Citrus Gin is a spirit completely made for for the Dry Martini. Add a dash of your favourite bitters and add a creative garnish of citrus or savoury for a wickedly delicious cocktail.

Rum Old Fashioned

The Old Fashioned is a classic cocktail traditionally made with Whiskey. But a robust aged rum like the Deep South Amber, with its subtle caramels and smoky finish, mimic the whiskey while adding warming undertones. Carefully prepared here in a leisurely classic understated, time-honoured way.

Koperbobbejaan

The Brass Monkey cocktail traditionally combines rum and orange.

Our Koperbobbejaan (copper baboon) steps up the game a little with a more complex mix of flavours and is a slightly ironic tribute to the troop of baboons that regularly try to raid our distillery, overturn our dustbins and play tag on the metal roof!

Cuba Libre

Supposedly attributable to a US Army caption stationed in Havana in the 1900s, who added lime and Coca-Cola to his rum and toasted his Cuban comrades by saying “Por Cuba Libre” – “to a free Cuba”, this drink has become a worldwide favourite. It needs a full-bodied rum to stand up to the sweet Coke – with the fresh lime adding an essential role in bridging the gap between tropical rum and effervescent, spicy-sweet Coke.
