Winter cocktail list
The Living Space’s new winter cocktail list will warm and revive as you come inside and sink into the sofa.
Chai White Russian. Atlantic Pudding Gin & Ginger Ale. Poinsettia. Cornish Negroni. Winter Colada. Apple and Vanilla Mojito. Hot Gin & Tonic… Enjoy with a Watergate sunset, or create your own at home with the recipes we’re sharing.
From Curio Cocoa Nib Vodka to Wrecking Coast Sloe Gin, Atlantic Cassis to Knightor Rose Vermouth, Cornwall’s impressive spread of artisan producers is represented in imaginative ways. “The list has lots of my favourite drinks in an interesting, fresh and playful combination,” says Christina, Watergate Bay Hotel's food and beverage operations manager.
