Our week-long celebration of World Cocktail Day may be coming to an end, but fear not! We’ve collected our favourite recipes from across the week in one place so you can easily celebrate #RBWorldCocktailDay everyday of the year. 


Bonjour World Cocktail Day with Pierre Boschet 

 

Embracing life en Provence, Pierre’s contribution to #RBWorldCocktailDay is a celebration of everything we love about the South of France. A truly elevated aperitif moment, the Bye Bye Paris features Cognac, spring-esque lavender mead and a goats cheese and rye bread infused whipped cream; we’re dreaming of a summer spent on the Riviera with this serve.


Bye Bye Paris


Ingredients 


25ml Cognac

80 ml Sparkling Mead made with Lavender Honey

20ml  Verjus

15ml Honey Syrup


Method 


Shake all ingredients with ice except the sparkling mead; this would spell disaster!

Pour over clear ice into a Classic Highball and simply top with the mead. 


Pierre recommends garnishing with a delicious whipped cream of goats cheese, honey, and roasted rye bread infused whole milk. Looks like we’ll be saying bye bye to simple lemon slices!

O Canada with Sunny Deol

 

Looking for an easier serve? Sunny’s O Canada Negroni is the perfect lazy mid-week cocktail, simple in its equal ratio measurements and utilising bar cart essentials most will have floating around. Creating a shockingly red negroni reminiscent of the iconic Canadian flag, our Classic Rocks Glasses have rarely looked so good.


For a less Canadian cocktail, please feel free to use the gin of your choice!


​​O Canada Negroni


Ingredients


30ml Canadian Gin, we like Cirka Distillery’s gin

30ml Campari

30ml Sweet Vermouth 


Method


Stir all in our Classic Mixing Glass with ice until chilled.

Strain into your Classic Rocks Glass over a large ice cube and garnish with a dehydrated orange slice.

Afternoon Tea, the RB way with David Jordan

 

 

For our second cocktail of the week we headed slightly closer to home with David’s Afternoon Tea Sour. We often find that afternoon tea is quite perfect enough on its own, but this serve is now an essential addition to the more traditional scones, cucumber sandwiches, and Victoria sponge. Served in our Classic Coupe Glass, this sour is the ultimate afternoon treat. 


Afternoon Tea Sour


Ingredients 


60ml Earl Grey infused Gin

30ml Lemon Juice 

15ml Italicus Bergamot Liqueur

5ml Suze Gentian Liqueur 

Egg White 


Method


Add all ingredients to your cocktail shaker and dry shake.

Add ice to your shaker, and shake to chill.

Strain into a chilled Classic Coupe Glass and enjoy with afternoon tea, or at any time of the day that you please!

A Taste of Fiji with Lisa Sips

 

For our mid-week pick-me-up only a tropical serve would do! Transporting us from a dreary and rainy London to the beautiful sandy beaches of Fiji, Lisa’s Fiji Fizz is sunshine in a glass. Inspired by the richly coloured and sticky sweet fruits native to the island, the addition of coconut rum and ginger beer make this cocktail the perfect summer refresher. 


Fiji Fizz


Ingredients


45ml Pandanus Leaf infused Plantation Isles of Fiji Rum

15ml Velvet Falernum

30ml Pineapple Juice

15ml Lime Juice

15ml Butterfly Pea Flower infused Coconut Rum

Top with Ginger beer

Passion Fruit Nectar & Soursop Nectar Ice Cubes


Method


Add all ingredients bar the butterfly rum and ginger beer to a shaker, and shake with ice.

Pour into a Classic Highball over clear or passion fruit infused ice cubes.

Top with ginger beer, and slowly float the butterfly pea to create a two-tone effect

Heading to the Heart of Brazil with Tales


A recreation of the much popular Ibirapema cocktail from São Paulo bar Regô, Tales brings us to the heart of Brazil with this stunning cocktail served in our Classic Martini Glass. Named for a ceremonial weapon used by Brazilian tribes in the 16th century, this cocktail packs a similar kick to its namesake. We might not all have easy access to Sherry infused with a plethora of nuts or Manteiga de Garrafa, but this is a cocktail to aspire to!



Ibirapema⁠ ⁠

 

Ingredients ⁠

50 ml Oak-aged Cachaça⁠

20 ml Oloroso Sherry infused with Brazil nuts, Pistachios, Cashew nuts and Macadamia⁠

15 ml Cynar 70⁠

2 Dashes Angostura Bitters⁠

Splash of Manteiga de Garrafa- a clarified butter, traditionally used in the north east of Brazil⁠

Method

Add all ingredients to a jar and sit in the freezer overnight. ⁠

Strain the liquid into our Classic Mixing Glass to separate the butter from the cocktail. Stir with ice to chill. ⁠

Strain into a chilled Classic Martini Glass and garnish with a sprig of thyme.⁠
