Dr Onyx Tonic Old Fashioned 6-Pack Set
6x 100ml Bottles.Old Fashioned:The Old Fashioned is said to have been first created at the Pendennis Club, a famous gentlemens club in Louisville, Kentucky in 1881 in honour of Colonel James E. Pepper famed bourbon distiller, who then introduced it to New York high society during his frequent visits to the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel bar in New York. They clearly embraced it, given how the infamous Mad Men had such a taste for it 80 years later in the 1960s Manhattan advertising scene. The Old Fashioned has had a makeover or two over its time. But this smooth, bitter, sweet simplicity of Bulleit Straight Bourbon Whiskey, traditional Angostura Bitters, and sugar cane syrup is a tonic that Don Draper himself would approve of.Serving Suggestions:Serve Dr Onyx Old Fashioned gently swirled in a short glass over ice, with a twist of orange zest. Pinch the zest so the oils spray over the drink before dropping it into the glass.
Dr Onyx Tonic Espresso Martini 6-Pack Set
6x 100ml Bottles.Espresso Martini:What do the Sex Pistols, Margaret Thatcher and the Espresso Martini have in common? Well, we dont know if all three were ever in the same bar at the same time, but we do know they all found fame (and some say notoriety) in 1980s London. There are several claims for the origin of the Espresso Martini. The more common claim was created at Freds Club, a Soho bar in the late 80s by bartender Dick Bradsell, for a young model who wanted something to wake me up and f**k me up. We cant think of a drink that better embodies the spirit of London. With many variations, this perfect recipe combines Grey Goose Vodka, Mr. Black Cold Brew Coffee Liquor, Espresso Coffee Extract, and sugar cane. Its an ideal cocktail for those who need an extra shot of life to make it through the night.Serving Suggestions:To serve, fill a cocktail shaker with ice, pour Dr Onyx Espresso Martini and shake vigorously. Strain into a chilled martini glass and garnish with fresh coffee beans.
Belvedere Single Estate Rye Lake Bartezek Vodka
A second vodka from Belvedere with a focus on 'terroir' is the Lake Bartezek Rye. Made from the same Dankowskie Diamond rye grain as the Smogory forest edition, but grown on a different Polish estate, according to the producers, the intention here is to highlight “The influence of the distinct soil, topography and climate... When sampled side by side, the two vodkas deliver two completely different taste profiles.” 40% Alc./Vol.
Garden Grown Gin
Created to capture as purely as possible the essence of the Australian summer garden, this is the original Garden Grown Gin (formerly called Distillery Botanica Gin). The French perfumers' time-honoured technique of enfleurage is used to extract the delicate scent and flavour from the hero botanical Murraya. It along with Chamomile, Sage, Rose, Angelica, Orris Root and of course Juniper bring this floral gin alive. On the nose, there are hints of jasmine, sweet honeysuckle and orange blossom.
Prohibition Bathtub Cut Negroni
Rock Rose Holy Grass Vodka
Dr Onyx Tonic Speakeasy Negroni
There are many stories about who created the first Negroni. We like to believe it originated in Florence, Italy in 1919 when Count Camillo Negroni asked for a stronger version of his favourite cocktail the Americano (Campari, Red Vermouth and soda water). The bartender replaced the traditional soda for gin, and the world-famous aperitif was born. The definition of sophistication and simplicity the Negroni is a tonic for those who would rather be sitting in a local bar during what the Italians refer to as aperitivo hour.Serving Suggestions:Serve Dr Onyx Negroni swirled, not shaken in a short glass over ice. Traditionally garnished with a slice of orange or the preferred blood orange adding a more dramatic fragrance, and a sweet and tart flavour.Volume:500ml, 22% Alcohol, Approx. 9.0 Standard Drinks.

Dr Onyx Tonic Manhattan 6-Pack Set
6x 100ml Bottles.Manhattan:The first skyscrapers began to change the skyline of Manhattan Island in the 1880s, just as NYCs Manhattan Club claims they created the first Manhattan cocktail. And its making just as big an impact 140 or so years later, capturing all the glamour and excitement of New York City in a glass. The Manhattan has stayed true to its origins, mixing American Rye Whiskey, Sweet Vermouth, and traditional Angostura Bitters. During Prohibition (19201933) Canadian whisky was primarily used because it was more readily available. Just like its namesake, and the people who call it home, it has survived wars and prohibition, recessions and depressions. Serving Suggestions:To serve, pour Dr Onyx Manhattan into a mixing glass filled with ice, stir well, then strain into a chilled cocktail glass or in a short glass over ice. Garnish with a cherry or lemon peel.
Dr Onyx Tonic Margarita 6-Pack Set
6x 100ml Bottles.Margarita:There are many claims to the origin of the Margarita. Some say it evolved from the traditional Tequila Daisy (Margarita is Spanish for Daisy), similar to the Margarita with more focus on lemon and lime, than the balance of orange liquor in the Margarita. Others say it was created in a Tijuana bar for the Ziegfeld dancer Majorie King. Another popular story is that it was created by socialite Margarita Sames for guests at her Acapulco holiday home. Regardless of how it originated, the blend of Tequila, Cointreau Liqueur, and lime is one of the most popular cocktails of choice.Serving Suggestions:To serve, line the rim of a tumbler with fresh lime and dip the rim in salt. Fill the glass with ice, then pour Dr Onyx Margarita. Add a squeeze of fresh lime and drop in a lime wedge to complete your south of the border experience.
