Pictured here is the Red Raven, a loose interpretation of the Jungle Bird - using the golden hour gin from White Oat, a house made charred pineapple and coriander cordial, a coconut oil fat washed campari and a little bit of lemon to round everything out. This is then topped with a sour tartaric pandan foam and a lime zest. For our garnish we have the key flavours, pineapple, coconut, pandan and coriander turned into a jelly for you to enjoy along side. come on in and try it while it lasts!

Recipe:
45 ml golden hour

Hello my fellow bon viveurs! For all you Steinbeck aficionados, we present the Grapes of Wrath - gin, Campari, T&T’s own artisan cinnamon and cardamom passion fruit cordial, lemon and grapes lovingly harvested from our courtyard (but not by the Joad family this time). Crisp and refreshing, no dust bowl required. Paies exquisitely with our vegetable pakora, served with pomegranate molasses and mint chutney.

Welcome to the weekend, angels. We made it.
