The Faux Friends cocktail menu is a playful nod to the linguistic phenomenon known as “false friends,” where words in different languages may appear similar but have entirely different meanings. In a similar vein, the cocktails on this menu may have seemingly familiar ingredients, but each cocktail showcases a unique combination of ingredients that may look or sound familiar, but have distinct flavour profiles that come together to create a delicious and harmonious drink.
By exploring the unexpected combinations of ingredients in the Faux Friends cocktails, You'll experience the pleasure of discovering new flavour profiles and expanding your palate.
Highballs
These are simple yet delicious concoctions that are made by combining a spirit with a carbonated mixer, usually soda water. What sets highball cocktails apart from other categories of mixed drinks is their focus on simplicity and refreshment. They are designed to be enjoyed in a tall glass filled with ice, making them the perfect choice for a hot summer day or a casual get-together with friends.

The Gimlet
It is a category of cocktails that are characterized by their simplicity and classic appeal. These cocktails are typically made with only two or three ingredients, allowing the flavours to shine through and creating a refreshing and easy-to-drink beverage. The defining ingredient of a gimlet cocktail is lime juice, which provides a tangy and citrusy flavour that is balanced by a sweetener; in our selection we do work with home made sour cordials to make the spirits we selected to shine through the cocktail.
