The Fish 11343 Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Good to see somethings don't change. Northern Monk is really good, for what it's worth and the venue was amazing. We paid to hire the place for the Saturday evening, but anything we spent at the bar was deducted from the total. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you fancy a variation from your norm Mount Gay Black Barrel makes a really good one without breaking the bank (Amazon Prime often have it on sale for about £20). I also go for half and half Angostura and orange bitters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy on the Drambuie though. I’d go 4:1 scotch / Drambuie. Another similar drink is a Corn n Oil. Make sure you use a decent aged Barbados rum (a proper one made, aged and bottled on the island, ie not Plantation). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do a really decent Argentinian Malbec and a Valpolicella Ripasso (both part of their Exquisite Selection). Also they’ve got a fantastic Tasmanian Pinot Noir in for about a tenner if you fancy something a bit different.
