Tropical Itch Cocktail | Talulah Bar | 52 Tyler Street
Talulah Bar is the tropical paradise you need this summer and a prime spot to soak in twinkling sunset views across the harbour. If you find yourself at this little oasis in he heart of the city, give their Bikini Bottom cocktail ago, made from spiced rum, blue curaçao, pineapple, passionfruit and lime - it's a must-try!
Jammie Dodger Cocktail | The Fox | 85/87 Customs Street West
The Fox is a charming London-inspired bar where you can enjoy watching sports events live or just come in to relax with a cocktail after a long day. They've called the Viaduct home for a number of years, but their recent renovations make The Fox feel like a brand new waterfront bar. Their drinks menu stands out with a great selection of British ales, gin and classic cocktails. This summer we recommend their Jammie Dodger cocktail - a delightful treat that blends the fruity, tropical flavours of lime and pineapple with the sweet, juicy taste of raspberry liqueur, cherry and vodka to mimic the taste of this beloved British biscuit.
