The Boar's Head
Legend has it that one of Alexander Gordon’s ancestors rescued the King of Scotland from a wild boar on a hunting trip and was awarded the Boar to his coat of arms for his bravery. As a symbol of courage and determination, Alexander adopted his family crest as a seal of quality to communicate his standards for quality gin. This cocktail is a nice telling of the Gordon’s story – a lot of London (the gins), with a French input (raw materials) and nod to Alexander’s Scottish roots (whisky). We’ve no idea if it came from the brand or bartender, but this storied mix sounds enticing: the juniper-led London Dry should pick up herbaceous, wormwood notes from the dry vermouth, whilst the citrus layers in the lemon gin will be spiked with a light smoke from the Scotch.
The Captain's Mince Pie Freakshake
When it comes to dessert, there’s a clear winner with the mince pie coming out trumps. The Captain’s Mince Pie Freakshake is set to be the go-to for those with a sweet tooth. What better way to eat your mince pie than piercing a straw in it and slurping a Captain Morgan ice cream milkshake through it?
The Cazuela
Cazuela is the cocktail you must try if you want to drink tequila in Jalisco! This is the most rustic cocktail I have ever tasted. The ingredients have to be prepared in the moment using just your hands. It’s super refreshing and contains lots of Vitamin C. The Cazuela container is also very popular in Jalisco - it is made of clay and keeps the cocktail nice and fresh in a natural way.
