Yellow Submarine Serves
To mark the return of Yellow Submarine, we've built a trio of cocktails that take its Islay character in three different directions.
Each serve keeps te whisky in clear view, with just enough lift, salt, sweetness or bitterness to pull something new from the glass.
Choose your bearing: dark and stirred, bright and sparkling, or savoury and slow.
The Sunken Sip
A short, dark serve with a little theatre below the surface.
Sweet vermouth and maraschino bring red fruit and glass, while chocolate bitters add a dry edge. The garnish keeps it moody.
