Once Upon A Cocktail – Ursula

Poor Unfortunate Soul is my cocktail homage to Disney’s most theatrical villain – Ursula – seductive, mysterious and impossibly glamorous. This isn’t your typical gin sour. It’s depths of botanical gin kissed with elderflower and black raspberry, topped with the most gorgeous iridescent foam. Think underwater cave meets high-end cocktail bar, with a golden shell necklace catching the light and pearls scattered like stolen treasure.

Once Upon A Cocktail – Maleficent

Some cocktails whisper; this one commands the room. Maleficent, the Mistress of All Evil, is a darkly elegant twist on a classic gin sour, structured with rum, damson liqueur, and morello cherry, wrapped in cherry smoke and glowing with deep magenta magic. It’s smooth, regal and impossibly powerful – a drink that captures the moment before the spell breaks.

Once Upon A Cocktail – Cruella de Vil

If Cruella de Vil had a signature cocktail, it would be this – effortlessly chic, slightly dangerous, and designed to steal the spotlight. Inspired by the fashion-forward villain herself, the Cruella reimagines a classic White Russian. Layers of silky coconut cream and dark rum swirl together in perfect villain style – indulgent, dramatic and unapologetically bold.

Centre Court Sipper – Summer Cocktail

Summer’s calling and it’s bringing a long, tall glass of something chilled and refreshing to sip while you settle in to watch a little Wimbledon! The Center Court Sipper is my ode to British summer afternoons – light, floral and just a little bit special. With elderflower, a touch of citrus and the Reverend Hubert Summer Cup as its base. It’s easy to make and even easier to enjoy in the sun!
