WEEK 41 ALMOST BACK TO NORMAL
#1 A delicious margarita based on fresh kiwi and kaffir lime. Slightly smokey finish with a dash of mezcal, a tropical tone easy drinking choice.
#2 A twist of a classic jungle bird, scotch whisky instead of dark rum and salted banana to replace the pineapple. A bitter/sweet beverage with heaps of texture and a nice herbacious finish.
#3 Another twist of classic Aviation, with gin, luxardo cherry, fresh kiwi and a dash of violet liquor. Floral, subtle freshness all in one glass.

Hey folks, our brave oven is at the gym for maintenance until next week. We've pulled out the old school sandwich press to keep up.
We'll have a reduced selection of toasties in order to maintain the speed and quality of service until then.
Come say hi though, our coffee machine is running and cups are tasty!
